I remember back in the late 1980s the Blue Mountain and Reading ran excursions with a streamlined CP Hudson out of Temple PA. As I recall, it was sidelined after a crack developed in the boiler that flooded the firebox. The engine was subsequently stored for several years in Allentown under the Tilghman St bridge. It has since been removed from that location to parts unknown to me. Could this be one of the 2 engines we have been discussing? There can't be very many CP Hudsons in the US... I have a picture somewhere of my very young son standing on the pilot. I'll have to see if I can find it and scan it into the computer.

That was the 2839 and it’s now in a car museum of all places in California.
