Steam Engine will be visiting our neighbourhood on Monday,
June 9, 2003 from 5.30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The train will
be situated at the CPR yard on Studholme Road, off of Aberdeen Ave.
(at Longwood).
CPR is sponsoring this event to build awareness for “Breakfast
for Learning”.
CPR's 2816 is a class H1b Hudson type locomotive built by Montreal
Locomotive Works in December 1930. CPR Empress is now the only surviving
H1b Hudson and is one of only a handful of preserved and operating
CPR steam locomotives in North America.

Empress web page.
Neighbourhood Watch will be having an information table on location
for this event and is looking for volunteers to help manage our
booth.
