Reply to "CPR T1c Selkirk Ugly Duckling or Black Beauty?"

Handsome engine in black or CPR gray & maroon.  There are freight in-service photos of #'s 5931 and 5935 at Medicine Hat, AB and Sidewood, SK in Joe G. Collias' book "The Last of Steam". Curiously, or practically (?), the Canadian Pacific had removed the sheet metal pilot on the 5931 and replaced it with a boiler tube type.  Pictures from September 1956, and depict the locomotives pulling "75 cars of Time Freight 980" and a "96 car stock extra".
