@Hot Water, would this be the Royal Hudson that I rode behind circa 1980 or so from Alexandria VA to Charlottesville and back on an excursion? My then-wife and first born rode in a non-A/C coach and the first thing we did upon arrival in Charlottesville wash off our 4 year old, cinder covered daughter in a public fountain.
No. The CP "Royal Hudson" that the Southern Rwy leased for excursion service, was #2839. The current Hudson that the CPR owns is not a "Royal Hudson", and is #2816, which is an earlier version.
I ask because I know it was a Royal Hudson and it was my only steam excursion until 611 in 1993. I was no railfan; didn't bring a camera.
Anyone else, feel free to chime in.
