| Long before a GP38 wore the CP #3011, this 2-6-0 Mogul had the distinction and honor of #3011. Built by the CP's own New Shops in Montreal in August of 1888, this loco was rebuilt a couple of times during its span of service. The locomotive was finally scrapped in October of 1954 one year after this photo was taken and after nearly 66 years of dedicated service.
