At roughly 2:40 a.m. two Northerns meet at Tichborne, Ontario the halfway point between
Toronto and Montreal and a refuel stop for most trains. These two locomotives are noted for
being the only two Northerns owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, both of them built at
their famed Augus shops. These locomotives were built in 1928 and went directly into service
on the Toronto-Montreal overnight trains, which they would remain assigned to until 1953.
Here the K1a #3100 is on train 22, headed east towards Montreal, it is waiting patiently in
the siding for #3101 on train 21 to pass. Train 22 will cross over to the main so it too can
pick up coal and then head to the station to pick up passengers.
