The Life of 4090

Over the last couple of years, Sunrise Rotary have been responsible for overseeing the complete repainting this landmark CP locmotive.  She rests at the corner of King Street and Highway 3/95 as part of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel Collection and now, in her shiny new glory she can once again sit as a proud reminder of Cranbrook's rail history.  Thank You Sunrise Rotary.


Photos researched by Dave Humphrey and Thank you to Stewart Wilson for the photos of 4090 as she is today.
