This Canadian Pacific 4 - 6 - 4 Locomotive of class H - 1 - b was built during the 1930's for fast passenger work. The class were later semi - streamlined and became the "Royal Hudsons" One of these plus the 2816, still remain in operating condition and the painting is based on a special working over the C.P.R. shortly after the 2816 was restored to operation.
