Steam Loco

As in most of Canada, the railroad played a big part in the history of Northern Ontario. I always admire old steam engines. This is loco 701 of the old Temiskaming & Northern Ontario railway, sitting in Englehart. It's a CLC 4-6-2. That means it was built by the Canadian Locomotive Company, with 4 leading wheels, 6 driver wheels and 2 trailing wheels. This model was built in 1921. The T&NO (affectionately called Time is No Object) led to the discovery of silver in Cobalt and followed with the great gold rushes in Kirkland Lake and Timmins.
