The Canadian Pacific 1201 was built in 1944 at CPR Angus Shops in Montreal. It is the last steam locomotive constructed by Angus and was used mainly to ship goods and people between Montreal and Ottawa. In 1967 it was donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museum and was used in 1977 for a special event involving Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. They were taken from Ottawa to Wakefield, Quebec, using the Governor General's rail cars. The train was used for the centennial commemoration of the Last Spike in 1985 at Craigellachie, British Columbia. On July 25, 2019, Canadian Pacific 1201 was installed at the new Ingenium Centre in Ottawa. The above video reveals the historic occasion. |
