H. L. Goldsmith found this powerful locomotive stored in the scrap line at Turcot Yard in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Great action shot of Canadian National 4-8-4 #6215 heading up a crack varnish train.

CN 4-8-4 #6218
Description:
This appears to be one of many fan trips that Canadian National 4-8-4 #6218 headed up in its many years of service. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in September of 1942, it was one of the lucky ones to survive the scrapper's torch as it was retired in April of 1960 and donated to Fort Erie, Ontario in October of 1973. No exact location or date was given but I believe it may be near Orillia, Ontario, sometime around 1960's. Can anyone help with the location? This is a W.H.N Rossiter photo.

CN 4-8-4 #6225
Description:
At this point in its life, it still has a shine on its boiler shroud and fairly clean whitewall wheels indicative of its valued service to CN.

The loco continued in service for another two years after this photo before meeting the scrapper's torch in May of 1960.

CN 4-8-4 #6400 - Canadian National
Description:
Although not dated, this almost appears to be the Royal train carrying King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Britain when they made an extended visit to Canada in 1939. However, Raymond Kennedy (see comment below) pointed out that the Royal Coat of Arms is missing on the nose. The 4-8-4 Confederation (CN's label for Northern wheel configuration) has a high shine not often seen under normal travel - hence the guess about the passengers. Built by Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936, it led a very distinguished service and was the only U-4 class member to be saved from the scrapper's torch. In June of 1967, it was donated to the National Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, Canada where it is now on display W.G. Fancher photo

CN 4-8-4 #6400 - Canadian National
Description:
The ultimate in streamline shrouding for Canadian National 4-8-4's was the U-4-a class with #6400 being the first built by Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936. Anthony H. Perles photographed it as it sat in the Turcot yard in Montreal. In 1939, it was chosen to handle the Royal Train for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Britain when they made an extended visit to Canada. It also went on display at the 1939 New York World's Fair "Railroads on Parade" exhibit. It is the only U-4 class locomotive to survive the scrapper's torch after being donated to National Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, Canada in June of 1967 where it is on display.

CN 4-8-4 #6401
Description:
The sleek streamlined cowling on this Canadian National 4-8-4 Confederation type steam locomotive made it look so much more modern than previous 4-8-4 locos. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936, it reigned as a queen of high speed passenger service until it was retired from revenue service and scrapped in November of 1961, one of the very last 4-8-4's to go. Specs - serial #68716, U-4-a class, 77" drivers, impressive 275 psi boiler pressure, 24x30" cylinders, engine weight of 280,280 lb, tractive effort of 52,457 lb. Shrowded in a streamline case. No exact date was give for the photo. Dick George photo.

CN 4-6-2 #5609 - Canadian National
Description:

The loco succumbed to the scrapper's torch in February of 1960. Serial #1501. H. L. Goldsmith photo
