This is a great locomotive, and it is in great shape except for some rust. But Alberta already has the two largest running locomotives in Canada. Those two are NOT making a profit, they both count on funding after tickets. The cost of restoring this one would be crazy high and this one is bigger.But find some one to pay for it and i will take a ride.

Its a shame that there are no T1a Selkirks left. Their un-streamlined design looked a little tougher then the streamlined versions.

Although restoring this locomotive is possible, their is pretty much no point since their are not very many curves wide enough left that could take this engine. The best thing we can do is make sure she is protected.

As an older guy (61) it drives me crazy to see such a beautiful locomotive out in the weather. Ther4 are very few if any of these around, and would love to see it restored to running condition,and used for excursion trips. Cause when they are gone....they are gone! We are talking IMPORTANT Canadian history here. Young kids have no idea what a huge smoking, powerful monster they are. I hate to see them rusting away. The Royal Hudson was rebuilt with donations ..why no this locomotive and the one at Jasper.

These engines were common in the rocky mountains and in other western provinces in the 40's and they are often featured in paintings in many art galleries.
