ArtistikFunk Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The resurrected CPR Empress locomotive 2816 re-entered active service in 2001 as a roving ambassador for Canadian Pacific Railway. The CPR Empress is now a significant component of the company's program. 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. Named after the Hudson River, the Canadian Pacific Hudson-type locomotives were first built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1929. They came with larger fire boxes than earlier locomotives and produced more steam at higher pressure than their predecessors. The 2816 worked with the top passenger trains of the 1930s between Winnipeg and Calgary. It was built as a high-powered, fast passenger locomotive. According to CPR steam table calculations, the 2816 was good for 4,700 horsepower at 55 miles per hour. The 2816 regularly operated at speeds in excess of 70 miles an hour. Today about 75 miles an hour is as fast as anything will go for CPR. The 2816 is from a group of Hudsons (2800 to 2819) that came into service in 1929 and 1930. It is the only survivor of the original 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
