History
CP 29 was built at CPR's Delorimer Shops in Montreal in September 1887, as #390. It was renumbered around
1905 to #217. In 1912 it was once again renumbered to #29, and extensively rebuilt and modernized.
CP 29's last regular assignment was the Norton to Chipman run in New Brunswick, where light bridges prohibited
the use of larger power. In the company of #136 and #144, 29 worked until nearly the end of steam on the CPR.
It made its last official steam run on CP out of Montreal in 1960. Following the last run, it was displayed
at the CRHA Museum in Delson, Quebec.
CP 29 is class A-1-e and has 17" x 24" cylinders, 70" drivers and has a tractive effort of 13,000 lbs.
CP 29 was badly damaged in the 1994 fire, and was cosmetically restored by CP before being moved to its
current location in Calgary, Alberta.
