Remarks & Notes |
CPR 4-4-0 #374 sits on display at the former CPR Drake Street Roundhouse in Vancouver. Before being converted into a community centre, the roundhouse was one of two major servicing centres for CPR locomotives in Greater Vancouver. Originally built in 1888, the 22 bay roundhouse served the CPR until 1979.
Locomotive 374 holds the distinction of having pulled the first official transcontinental train into Vancouver on May 23, 1887. |
