| With steam rising as a cloud around this loco, it denotes a cold day in March. Due to the limitations of the RRPA (no 2-8-2 choice), this 2-8-2 Mikado is listed as a 2-10-2. It was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1913 as #5046 but renumbered sometime between 1926-30 when the original superheater installation was replaced by a Schmidt Type A. On the back of the photo was this note stating "CP 5146 at Newport, Vt w/ Quebec Central way freight for Sherbrooke (best 'A' steam in New England) 3/21/1957" A large segment of the former rail from Newport, VT to Quebec has been converted to the Newport Bikepath now so trains can no longer run between Newport, VT and Sherbrooke.
