Engine 600 The Saga of a Locomotive The story of Engine 600 is a fascinating tale of how a steam locomotive became the backbone of transportation in North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This powerful machine was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1913 and spent its entire working life hauling freight and passengers across the prairies of Canada and the United States. Over the years, it witnessed the rise and fall of mighty railroads, the growth of cities, and the transformation of society. It also saw the decline of the steam engine era and the birth of the diesel age. The saga of Engine 600 begins in the bustling city of Winnipeg, where it was built and assembled piece by piece. From there, it was shipped to the prairies, where it began its long journey hauling trains through the vast open spaces of the Great Plains. As it chugged along the tracks, it left behind a trail of smoke and cinders, forever changing the face of transportation in North America. The book explores the history of the steam engine and its impact on society, as well as the men and women who built and operated these machines.
