My Hometown---Part 2

That loco spent some time at STELCO (The Steel Company of Canada) too, as I believe our shop forces worked on it to prepare it for the trip south. I spoke with a gentleman who was familiar with this class of locos when they were still operational, and supposedly they were troublesome locos right from the start, with a propensity for blowing staybolts regularly. I somehow doubt it'll see steam again, but let's hope they correct that problem if I'm wrong. Mind, though, if the CPR couldn't cure the problem... Nope
