This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

    BSRA 2015-03-07 Entertainment Report

    BSRA Entertainment Report for March 7, 2015 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for March 7, 2015 March 7, 2015. The Bachelders' NRHS Convention Adventure, Part 1. Leonard Bachelder and his wife Nancy attended the 2013 NRHS convention in Alaska, turning this into a 6-week trip through Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and Alaska. Len started us off in Calgary, Alberta, showing us the C-Train Transit Mall. The C-Train begain operating in 1981, and has been expanded several times since. The downtown Transit Mall consists of 7th Avenue with high-level platforms that are usually offset by a block on opposite sides for space reasons. The Transit Mall is entirely within the 7th Avenue Free Fare Zone, and is shared by both C-Train routes (the South and Northwest lines, forming route 201, and Northeast and West lines, forming route 202). As Len also showed us, Calgary Transit buses use the Transit Mall, but not the station platforms. Current rolling stock types are Siemens-Duewag U2 (#2001 - #2083, delivered from 1981 through 1984, and of which 80 of the original 83 remain in service), Siemens SD-160 Series 5 and 6 (#2201 - #2272, delivered from 2001 through 2006), and Siemens SD-160NG Series 8 (#2301 - #2338, delivered in 2007). Len showed us examples of all of these classes of cars. The C-Train also has car #2090 which was made from the remaining good sections of wrecked U2 cars #2019 and #2027, and experimental cars #2101 - #2102 (AC versions of the U2s, originally #3001 - #3002) which also served as demonstrators in Edmonton, but have been retained in revenue service in Calgary (not MU-compatible with the DC motored U2s, so inserted into the middle of SD-160 trains).
  • Edmonton's Hanover 601 Streetcar Returned to Germany

    Edmonton's Hanover 601 Streetcar Returned to Germany

    Edmonton’s Hanover 601 Streetcar returned to Germany After more than a decade in Edmonton, “Hanover 601”, the red and white streetcar that plied the rails atop the world’s highest streetcar bridge, has been returned to its native Germany to celebrate the 125th anniversary of public transit in Hanover. It will become part of a museum collection in that city. The streetcar was sold for $1.00 and departed Edmonton on September 16th. The six-axle high performance car dates from 1970 and was one of two, 600 built by Linke-Hoffman-Busch with Kiepe electrics, and 601 built by Düwag with Siemens equipment, as prototypes to replace the Hanover streetcar fleet. After testing, the operator ÜSTRA decided on eight-axle cars, and so the pair were returned to their respective builders. Boston and San Francisco wanted to bring 601 over as a prototype for a joint fleet renewal program, but this was nixed by Nixon who insisted on home grown vehicles, resulting in the disastrous SLRV design by Boeing Vertol with bodies from Japan. Düwag modified the 601 design to develop the U2 LRT car for Frankfurt, and it was subsequently modified for Edmonton, Calgary and San Diego. When Edmonton’s LRT line was being designed, ETS’ Robert Clark, having established a connection with the Düwag management, suggested a tour of North American cities with 601, but Düwag’s General Manager replied to the effect that Düwag built the best streetcars in the world and needed no such demonstration. About that time, Siemens decided to diversify its medical operation in Canada and brought along Düwag, going from a sub-contractor to prime, with the Edmonton order being key.
