PAPER EDITION - 3500 s/n . 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 #2860, 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.
