II " The Credit Valley Railway in Canada is said, by Robert Fairlie, in hishi.s article published in 1876,6 to have had doubld o ubl e··be-vboil o i l erc r locolocQ motives in use at that date, while therethere is a refererenceence ini n. E nginn gi n eering, for August 21, 1874, to the effect that due to tthehe f'irieEne per formance of the Fairlie engines on the Toronto, Grey & Bruce Railway, the president of the CrCreditedit Valley Railway had decided to use the type for the heavy traffic of this line. "
Considerationderation of the foregoinforegoingg conclusion leads us to conclude, firstly, that the FairlieF'ai r'Li e locoIocornoti.rnotiveve on the Toronto, Grey ge", Bruce must have been fairly (! ) success ful. Secondly, in regard to the Credit Valley Railway'sR;:>.ilway' s ever having a Fairlie loco motive, we are led to two possibilities. both of which depend upon the fact that no Can adian record of a Credit Valley Fairlie has to dated ate been unearthed. Either the Cr edit Valley liked the performance of the T .G.& B .. enggineine to the extent that they or dered one on the standard-gauge' for themselves, but never for some reason took delivery of it; or they did take delivery of it but ran it for only a short time. We feel that it would be worthwhile to examine contemporary sources and records to attempt to shed more lilightght on this mystery. We would assume that a locomotive as unusual as this one would be, would attract attention in the local press.
As a conclusion to Part I of these notes, the author would like to make some acknowledacknowledgments.gments. It is fitting, perhaps, to mention first Mr. Orner S.A. Lavallee, sine qua non; and to Mr. Douglas Brown, I am indebted for permission to use his father's notnoteses on the GlasGlasgowgow &&.
