Bob Farkas and Paul Woodring were in Toronto on June 19, 1980, where they visited the Canadian National Spadina engine facility. Not only were they able to make photographs of CN 4-8-2 No. 6060 they also got a cab ride.
The 6060 was one of 20 Mountain type locomotives built by Montreal Locomotive Works for CN in 1944.
Retired in 1960, the 6060 was placed on static display in Jasper, Alberta. Restored to operating condition in 1972, the 6060 saw excursion duties for CN through the 1980s.
It has since operated at times and is now awaiting another restoration pending adequate funding.
