EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases CPR Engine 1074, a Ten Wheeler Class locomotive, proudly stationed at Windsor (Street) Station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada during the 1910s. The Ten Wheeler Class, also known as the Ledoux Class, was a significant addition to the Canadian Pacific Railroad's (CPR) fleet, featuring a unique wheel arrangement that provided improved traction and stability on the rugged Canadian terrain. Engine 1074 is shown in all its steam-powered glory, with its large cowcatcher at the front, protecting the locomotive from collisions with animals or debris on the tracks. The intricate details of the engine's design are on full display, from the bell atop the cab to the various valves and pipes that snake along the sides. The Windsor (Street) Station, a grand architectural marvel of the time, serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic moment. The station's impressive facade, with its arched windows and red-brick exterior, is a testament to the era's architectural prowess. The surrounding buildings, with their varied styles and heights, further emphasize the bustling activity of Montreal's railway hub. As the steam from the engine billows into the crisp Canadian air, the scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the golden age of rail travel. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, showcasing the technological advancements, architectural beauty, and vibrant energy of Montreal during the 1910s.
