N2 Class 2-8-0
N2a class 2-8-0 3688 was in yard service as indicated
by the footboards and fire hose on the tender. MLW 10/1911 as N3 class 3888 rebuilt Angus 5/27. These locomotives were said to be "under boilered" in that the two "engines" could consume steam faster than the fireman could make it! At least on hand-fired coal burners working the main line with heavy tonnage. Note: Each set of cylinders, motion, rods etc. comprise a separate "engine" that could in fact operate independently in an emergency such as a rod failure allowing the locomotive to keep working albeit at only half power.
N2c 3759 CF #1001 3/14 One of only 10 (3951-3960) built
by Canada Foundry in Toronto. Rebuilt Angus 11/28. Again, this engine is equipped for yard service with fire
hose and combination pilot. It is likely in transfer service. Note: N3b and c sub-class engines 3891-3960 were built with an all-weather enclosed cab a.k.a. vestibule cab. A few oil-fired 3600's got the new cabs but, most remained open cab until the end.
