harrym, if as you say the CPR Hudsons were all numbered in the 2800 series, that would seem to indicate that hummingfrog's post 5692 loco (#3612?) is not one. I'm not sure if it is a Hudson at all, could it be a Pacific or even a Northern? Not being able to count the driving wheels makes it tricky to identify, indeed it could well be a US loco and not Canadian anyway (the footplate crew seem to be wearing the de riguer striped ticking type US engineers' hats for a start).
Is it just me or does anyone else feel a perverse delight in trying to identify an approx 350 ton steam loco in a thread dedicated to military aviation? It was after all used for the transportation of British cadet pilots. If it is the same loco that is hauling the train through Pueblo, that would put it in Colorado wouldn't it?
Hummingfrog, can we have a clue please?

Reason: name change!
