CPR Baldwin Number 8000 to WCRA
CP 8000 at Drake St. in the 1960's - WCRA.
Canadian Pacific Railway has awarded its heritage Baldwin
locomotive number 8000 to the West Coast Railway Association where it will become part of the WCRA collection for long term
preservation and interpretation.
Number 8000 was part of an order for 13 Baldwin DRS 4-4-1000 locomotives, built by the builder in Eddystone, Pennsylvania,
in December 1948.
In late February 2007, a letter was received from CPR Vice President, Paul Clark, advising the West Coast Railway Association of the
award of the locomotive and terms for its donation.
