I found this black and white early 1950's era photograph from the Canadian National Railroad at My Link page Yesteryear depot.com, located to the right of Your computer screen at http://www.yesteryeardepot.com/

No photographer's name is mentioned on this photograph.

A Canadian National Railroad light 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive used in passenger train service, is viewed at the Paris Junction Ontario locomotive terminal, underneath the coaling tower on a cold Winter day.

The Canadian National was one of the last railroads on the North American continent to operate steam locomotives in daily operation. The CN operated steam in daily mainline service until 1959, and actually set aside a number of locomotives for preservation as well.
