Some more good news for train enthusiasts, this Bessemer & Lake Erie 2-10-4 #643 the last of its kind that's been sitting for years in a local industrial site has found a new home at The Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek Ohio. The tender was moved in Oct 2019 and the engine is in the process of being dismantled for the trip. The size and weight of this engine was such that it could not be transported in one piece by rail or truck

Part of the CPR line includes the 'Spiral Tunnels'. These were completed in 1909, resulting in a reduction of the previous route gradient from 4.5 grade down to 2.2.

This is the same train:

At the bottom of one of these hills lies an abandoned Baldwin locomotive, pushed over when the work was completed in 1909.
