Following the un-timely death of Blount, Green Mountain's three steam locomotives were
sold off with 89 going to Strasburg in 1972 where it remains in tourist operation.

Light snow is falling as CNR 91 and 87 doublehead along Ferguson Avenue in Hamilton. Reg.Button

91 was originally saved in June 1959 by Charles Matthews a house mover in Langstaff, Ontario and a collector of Canadian transportation artifacts. His collection was purchased in 1965 by the Government of Ontario for the still-born Transportation Musuem. The locomotive collection was disbanded with 91 sold in August 1969 to Fred Steck of Reese, Michigan who restored it to operating condition for his private Reese Central. Fred sold it in December 1984 to the Middletown and Hummelstown in Pennsylvania where it operated for a brief time and where it remains stored after a recent (2004) restoration to very brief operation.
