Canada's Streamlined Steam Engines

  • North America has had some pretty neat streamlined steam engines throughout it's rail related history. Canada specifically, has had some on both major railways, the CNR and CPR.
    Side note - my suspicions were right, I forgot about Temiskaming & Northern Ontario (Ontario Northland) 4-6-2 number 700. It was built in 1921 and streamlined sometime in the 1940s before it was scrapped in the late 1950s or so. Here's a photo of what it looked like:

    Great video! Some of my personal favorites from the land up north would definitely be the Jubilees, since relatively small steam engines tend to be overlooked in railroading history in favor of larger, main line engines. The Selkirks are also underrated IMO.

    The U-4 streamlining was the result of National Research Council wind tunnel testing to prevent smoke from entering the cab or settling along the train rather than the usual reasons given for streamlining. The standard CN designed whistle was a five chime whistle, designed by my father when he was in the mechanical engineering office, and produced bu McAvity Foundries in St. john, New Brunswick.

    CP's F class 4-4-4 Jubilees are criminally underrated, they're just essentially 4-6-4 Royal Hudson but compressed into a 4 wheel driver locomotive and they tend to be obscure.

    Wow! The CN 6043 in the B & W intro is on display in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. I pass it regularly and have memories of its being moved from a siding less than a block from my home, down a major thoroughfare, across an army base and up a residential street in an upscale neighbourhood! Never did see it in action so seeing it here was a real treat! Thank you very much sir.

    Multiple steamliners were made for Canada, CNR and CPR had a couple of iconic streamliners, CPR K1A was based on the CN confederation classes which were a series of 4-8-4s, Confederation series was made In 1927, 1 year later the K1As would be made In 1928, then with the H1As which were built in 1929, then the H1Bs built in 1930s, Something rather Interesting from 6060, Is that it’s 4-8-2s original designs were originally going to be a 4-8-4, but this was a time period In 1944 where metal were fragile during the war, so they had to downgrade it to a 4-8-2, Also they had the Royal Hudson’s which were made In 1937, Same year the UP FEF classes were made, Good part too Is that unlike the US where there steam program closed In 1952, The Canadian steam program didn’t close down until the 1960s, All of these built by the Montreal Locomotive Works, (MLW.)
