P1n class 5248 is relatively new (CPR May 1949) freight engine yet
it was assigned to yard work in Banff in the summer Note: There was an advantage to using a road engine for
this temporary assignment rather than a yard switcher as it would not
require its rods to be removed for dead movement at 20 mph to a roundhouse
for monthly washout or other work. There Following dieselization the practice of assigning a road engine for this duty would continue.

"Distributed Power" in the steam era! Work train near Winnipeg
1957. Note extra water tender behind first engine. This photo was taken on the construction of the Drywood Spur south of Brocket, Alberta in 1957 the work train is hauling ballast to unload on the south end near Drywood, Alberta. British American (BA), later Gulf Oil, constructed a sulphur loading facility at Drywood.
In later years the line was extended from near Drywood to the Shell Plant at Pecten. The two spurs were combined to become what today is known as the CPR’s Pecten subdivision.
The two locomotives where required to take the heavy ballast up the steep grade to the yard at Drywood. Because of the new and soft track condition the engines were separated by a number of cars, the one engine acting as a pusher or helper.
5427 is equipped with a ‘Prairie tender’ as there was no watering facilities on the spur, as diesels were to do the later work on the new line. When the construction was completed these engine and others used to build the line were some of the last steam engines to work the old Lethbridge Division and almost all were then tied up.

Winnipeg Beach was a very popular destination for the folks in Winnipeg. CPR built a very large amusement park at the beach side but sold off most of the properties during WWII. There was also a very large roller coaster at the park. The park which was developed by the CPR before WWI was very popular with dance halls etc. Doug Phillips

G2s 2592 with last steam powered passenger train into Lethbridge. 1958. Note: 2592 no longer has a Worthington Feed Water Heater. It and 2212 on Eastern Lines were so equipped in trial before 1200 and 1201 were built and also equipped. Photo 2592 and Worthington data (scroll down). The above photo is of the Medicine Hat – Lethbridge
portion of the Kettle Valley Express, train number 45. In March 1958
the service went RDC along with the rest of the southern BC service
Lethbridge through to Vancouver BC at that time. From time to time this
train had diesels as CLC units were in this route as early as 1952.
It is very likely the last steam in ‘regular passenger’ service
into Lethbridge. Doug Phillips
