Thanks to Rainer Auer for giving us this information which came from Omer Lavallee's book "Canadian Pacific Steam Locomotives."
Here are some memories from Donald Scott.
The first of the G3h class locomotives, 2418 (first one with the Worthington feedwater heater was at Quebec City when fresh out of the builders in 1944 being broken in on the Montreal-Quebec City line) was in black & gold, with its cylinder boxes, boiler and firebox stainless-steel color. New 2-8-2 semi-streamlined 5447 was there at the same time. Later 2418 received the tuscan red-grey paint scheme along with the black & gold. Its a long story of the 2400s, again all semi-streamlined, which were a carry over from the earlier semi-streamlined 2351 through 2417, all built by Canadian Locomotive Company at Kingston, Ont. from 1938 through 1942. The semi-streamlined 2-8-2's 5405 to 5473 all had the same lines. CP was big in standardizing their steam.
