BC Rail's Royal Hudson #2860
was built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1940, one of the last group
of five ordered by the railway. Locomotives of the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement
were pioneered in North America by the New York Central and named after
its Hudson river line. When the King and Queen of England toured Canada
in 1939, the Royal train was drawn by C.P. Hudson # 2850, dressed for the
occasion with Royal crown crests on its running boards. Royal permission
was given for this engine's sisters to continue to wear this crest in regular
service, hence the name "Royal Hudson". Spanning the First Narrows between
Stanley Park and the North Shore, Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge is about
three years older than the 2860.
