The book "1201 to Wakefield" was written and published in 1981 when Canadian Pacific Railway 4-6-2 Pacific class G5a number 1201 pulled a regular excursion train from the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, north to Wakefield, Quebec, and return.

There were 1,000 copies produced which were sold mostly in hobby shops across Canada for the HUGE price of $4.95 each.

Since so much time has elapsed I think it is now safe to put this book on the World Wide Web for everyone to read. I doubt any merchants out there are still selling copies of the book.
