Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 2552, Haliburton
Built by the CPR Angus shops in March of 1909, 2552 was the first 4-6-2 Pacific to serve on the DAR. It had earlier served on another CPR subsidiary, the Montreal and Atlantic. It is listed as a D.A.R. unit in both 1941 (1) and 1947 (3). It was scrapped in July 1956.(1)
From the photos it is evident that this locomotive was repainted to D.A.R. colours between 1949 and 1950.
