Description
Spirit of Kamloops 2141 was built in 1912 by the Canadian Locomotive Company, in Kingston, ON - built for the Canadian Northern Railway, prior to it being absorbed into the Canadian National Railway. She is a 2-8-0, 'Consolidation' class of steam locomotive built for branch line railways. Originally a coal burner, she was converted to burn oil in 1954, and retired from active duty in 1958. 2141 was sold to the City of Kamloops in 1961, and placed on display in Riverside Park until restoration work began in 1995. The restoration was completed in 2001, and 2141 has been working for the Kamloops Heritage Railway from May until December each year since. All Rights Reserved.

Thank you, Max. I was lucky to be able to take photos in the maintenance shed which made the colour more interesting. ;-)

Love a beautiful photo of old machines that become abstract design, a bit weird maybe, this one is superb, great light, colour and artist eye for design vf
