JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

gt~ Railway passenger traffic in CFlnada will soon be in for even more extensive and intensive competition from the airlines Recent indications are that both CPA and TCA will step up their publicity campaigns designed to entice a greater number of Canadians onto the airways Early in February Trans-Canada Airlines took delshyivery of the first of the big 127-passenger jet airliners that it will put into transshyc ontinental serVice on April 1st The airplane a DC-8 in the white and scarlet TCA livery was flown to Montreal from the Douglas aircraft factory in Long Beach Cal USA at an average speed of 5S0 miles per hour The jet took only four hours and thbty-three minutes for the 2S1S-miles trip made at 33000 feet altitude

A second will be delivered to the company in a few weeks and deliveries will continue at intervals after that until TCA has ten of the big airplanes The compshyanys first order was for six but the figure was stepped up some time ago when TCA notified Douglas that it was definitely taking an additional four which it had on option

In an additional effort to make flying even more appealing Trans-Canada Airshylines will make a determined bid for a reduction in transatlantic air fares at the forthcoming meeting of the International Air Transport Association and Canadian Pacific Jir Lines will introduce the lowest fare ever charged by Canadian carriers between Vancouver and New York CPA 5 new tourist class fare from Vancouvet to New York will be slightly lower than the lowest fare now middotin effect The airlines present one-way tourist class fare from Vancouver to New York is $12300 The new tourist fare will be $11300 gt

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

gt~ Railway passenger traffic in CFlnada will soon be in for even more extensive and intensive competition from the airlines Recent indications are that both CPA and TCA will step up their publicity campaigns designed to entice a greater number of Canadians onto the airways Early in February Trans-Canada Airlines took delshyivery of the first of the big 127-passenger jet airliners that it will put into transshyc ontinental serVice on April 1st The airplane a DC-8 in the white and scarlet TCA livery was flown to Montreal from the Douglas aircraft factory in Long Beach Cal USA at an average speed of 5S0 miles per hour The jet took only four hours and thbty-three minutes for the 2S1S-miles trip made at 33000 feet altitude

A second will be delivered to the company in a few weeks and deliveries will continue at intervals after that until TCA has ten of the big airplanes The compshyanys first order was for six but the figure was stepped up some time ago when TCA notified Douglas that it was definitely taking an additional four which it had on option

In an additional effort to make flying even more appealing Trans-Canada Airshylines will make a determined bid for a reduction in transatlantic air fares at the forthcoming meeting of the International Air Transport Association and Canadian Pacific Jir Lines will introduce the lowest fare ever charged by Canadian carriers between Vancouver and New York CPA 5 new tourist class fare from Vancouvet to New York will be slightly lower than the lowest fare now middotin effect The airlines present one-way tourist class fare from Vancouver to New York is $12300 The new tourist fare will be $11300 gt

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for

JUST A LITTLE MORE than one hunshydred years ago the first mass e rad icatshyion of locomotive naInes on CN1(2 d~ an r a ilshyways took place when the G r and T runk R1ilwayof Cgtnacia faced with a roste r of locomotives considerably in exces s of one hUEd red consigne d its locomotive n a lTIeS to history and as s i gn e d n W1bor s to all of them By this overt decisiou engines proudly bearing na~ne s such as QUEEN YAMASKA AMMONOOSUC COOS and RAILWA Y KING were reduced to the statshyus of numbered nonentities Many carrshyied their names for years afterward but a practice which today remains sacroshysanct to marine vessels was thereby oblshyiterated from C~r~dian railroading True on the smaller lines it was possible to see named 10cOlTIotives well into the Twe shyntieth Century but the larger roa ds folshylowed the numbering proce dure rigidly

While the advantages of numbered r a ther than named stock are r a ther obvshyious little consid e r a tio n has ever be e n giv e n in North America to n lrnte r 3 C ompa~~_e~ by na_IE~ as h as been t h e pra cshytice pre~id ht g in Gre a t B ritai n ~d in other European countrie s Is o lated engshyines have b een given names in our own bailiwick the name d engines of the Censhytral Vermont a nd of the Boston amp M a ine corne readily to m ind However following the first World War no less an august corporation than the Canadian Pacific Railway ventured briefly into the field of narned engines but the practice alas was shortlived

E a rly in the year 1918 and apparently on the suggestion of the late Sir George Bury then CPR Vice-President the manshyagement of the Company with all good intent decided to select the names of locshyomotive enginemen to apply to steam locshyomotives in addition to the regula r engine number The practice follow e d the prinshyciple of selecting the name of an outstandshying e n gineer on each of the CPRs m a jor subdivisions in all cases me n with una ssshyailable personal service record of efficshyiency in the performance of their tasks

According to Sir George BurYt seniority was not neces sarily to be the criterion for s e lection it was to use his own words to be rather a badge of efficiency

Accordingly late in 1918 Canadian P8cifics mechanical drawing office at Montreal designed an attractive emblemshyatic device centred around the CPRs famed beaver crest in several colours which would be applied to specific engines with the names of selected engineers The device consisted of a dark blue band in a circle outlined in gold The band was 3 wide and on it in gold letters 2 high were the words Canadian Pacific and the name of the engineer Within the blue band was a crimson circle on which was superimposed a shield outlined in black and carrying a green maple leaf on a whit background Surmounting the shie ld was a brown beaver This was painted on the ca b side in the position u~shyually occupied by the engine number A start was made in applying this device to the e n r ines and all in all some fiftyshyfour engines rtre known to have been painshyted in this way The engines selected were for the rnost part passenger engines with a decided predilection for 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s There was one 4-4-0 and one 2-8-0

Unfortunately the rnilway company did not anticipate the jealousy of the rivshyals of the men singled out for distinction and after a few years of perseverance in what an impa rtial observer might only construe as good intent the intere sting practice was dropped and the engines reshyverted to their original designations A few of them still exist today though withshyout their nrtmes

One of the features of this practice while it lasted was that the christian names of the men concerned were usually given in their colloquial equivalent Jack for John Bill for William Mike for Michael and so on Enginshyeer Rose of the Port McNicoll Subdivisshyion after whom 4-4-0 engine No68 was n a m e d c a rried the nickname Shiner and so when No 68 went into Angus for
