Delta Alaska Terminal 1 660HP DS4-4-660 BLW #73042 11/46 Surrey, BC August 1969 David M. More
A lot of history here. This was the first Baldwin diesel in
Canada, it was built for the Morrissey, Fernie & Michel Ry.
(Crows Nest Pass Coal Co., Michel, BC) as their number 1. When this very old
(1903) shortline closed down (aban. 2/58) it was finally sold 7/64 to Johnston
Terminals, New Westminster, BC. and later went to Delta Alaska Terminal (owned
1/3 each by GN, NP and MILW) where it switched the American Rail Express Co.'s
S.S. Alaska a rail car ferry which operated a weekly service toWhittier,
Alaska where it connected with the Alaska RR, leaving BC on Thursdays. It
ceased service 3/78. It went on to a number of different locations and owners,
industrial, shortline and preservation. It is currently at the Portola
Railroad Museum in California.
This was the only 660 HP Baldwin diesel in Canada. The only other new Baldwin's were the CPR's small fleet of 1000 HP units, both yard and road switchers.
