Viewing Album:  CANADIAN PACIFIC STEAM-CHIPMAN MIXED TRAIN 1959
 
By:EDWARD J. OZOG
Dates:6/19/1959 - 6/19/1959
Album Info:This album features the CP's Noton-Chipman mixed train that drew fans from afar to see the line's 4-4-0's. I arrived at dusk in the small village of Norton, N.B. by a Canadian National train from St. John and spent the night in a guest house near the station. Early the next morning I was at the Canadian Pacific's one-stall engine house that stood within sight of the station. CP A2q 4-4-0 144 was being prepared for the daily mixed train to Chipman, 44.6 miles and about 3 hours away. I rode the mixed both ways, part way in 144's cab. She was built by the CP in 1886 and shared the work on the branch with A1e 4-4-0 29 built by the CP in 1887 and A1m 4-4-0 136 built by Rogers in 1883. All three were at work when the CP ran its first passenger train across Canada. 136 was in the engine house at Chipman and I had seen 76 year old 29 two days before at the McAdam backshop being prepared for a celebration. The pictures in this album give an impression of the round trip to Chipman when three 4-4-0's powered the branch because they were light enough for the bridges. All three have been preserved. Please, also see my other CP albums for pictures taken in Montreal and McAdam during my June 1959 trip.
