when you find an engine you might try wikpidia (spelling?) They will at least have a ball park on when the engine's were produced.

Not on the web, but check the library for Canadian National Steam Power by Clegg and Corley and Omer Lavallee's Canadian Pacific Steam Locomotives.
Sorry, but they probably won't help with your local railway.

Got this from my good friend 50’s Diner some years ago.

dagjamit.... it's too big, I've sent it to you in a PM it has introduced dates for both steam and diesel.

Well that's not working either. If the jpg is shrank down to be acceptable size to send, the information becomes unreadable.

I figger' sumpin' out.
