Hi Wayne and Everyone out here in the Big Blue,
She was at Montreal!! The 1533 info I have is she was transfer from the Montreal commuter pool to Allandale. The reference is from Ian Wilson's Allandale books, which include photos of the 1533. The text mention that she was transferred from Montreal in the late 50's (I'll have to dig up the actual text for the date). Numbered 1325 / 1533, Class H-6-d 4-6-0, was built by Montreal Locomotive Co in 1911, #49878, as Canadian Northern 264, renumbered 1325 in 1912. She became Canadian National 1325, Class H-6-d, in 1920 and was renumbered 1533 in 1956. I've seen two different photos of the 1325 working both freight & passenger trains out of Montreal in the mid 1950's, but I am not allowed to re-print them as part of the deal I had with the collector who sent them to me.
Also of interest, eight of the CNR 4-6-0's were sent to Australia in 1941 as part of the war effort. I found this site that has the details: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.comrails.com/cr_locos/r_cn.html">www.comrails.com/cr_locos/r_cn.html</a><!-- w --> .

My be useful for anyone programming DCC sound. Hope everyone out there is having fun – David Notarius, London UK
