CP Motive Power Past And Present
Title:  CP Motive Power Past And Present
Description:  What a lovely Hudson "The Empress" is. Here she is charging past an eastbound freight that changed crews while in the hole at Loretto an hour before she arrived en route to Glenwood this day. Wonder if the crewman from the diesels watching her go by wanted to trade places with one of the guys in the cab!

Whistling Through Loretto
Title:  Whistling Through Loretto
Description:  Here comes Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 number 2816, "The Empress", with an excursion to Glenwood, MN, on the old Soo Line main. Here, with a CP GP tucked in behind her, she races through the small town of Loretto whistling and chugging up a storm. As she approached I sang the aloud praises for F. Nelson Blount, thanking him for saving her for his Steamtown collection, from which she returned to her old owner. By the way, would you belive 2816 once had smoke deflectors? Copy and paste this link: http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/steamtown/shs3g.htm and scroll down the page to find and black and white shot of her with them.
