Canadian Pacific Locomotive Class T1a 2-10-4 Selkirk

 



 

 

The T1c series locomotives were some of the last (5935 being the last) steam locomotives built for a Canadian Railroad. Built in 1949 they operated for only 14 years before retirement. Usually in passenger service, the T1b and T1c Selkirks had improved balancing on the drivers and rods and could run faster than the 1929 built T1a's. The package includes 2 T1c's 5930 with a snow plough pilot and 3935 with the summer plated pilot.
