2-8-2 locomotive on Meziadin Viaduct

 Skeena Pacific Railway is pleased to announce the return to service of Mikado
 (2-8-2) locomotive #2295 (Baldwin, 1947) following an extensive rebuild. The locomotive will be entering full service in May 2003.
 

Seen to the right, drifting downgrade in the Tahltan Subdivision toward Dee's Junction, #2295 easily handled a test train to the northern service centre of the System without any problems being encountered. None were expected, even though this locomtive is more than 50 years old. This is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the men and women of SPR shops located near Kitimat, BC.
