So if you read the description for GT 713, I mentioned the little mogul that could was the primary power for the Lewiston Branch mixed train until 1954 when it left to pull the CN museum train across Canada. In it's place until the end of steam were the larger N-4-a consolidations and the even bigger S-1-f and S-3-a Mikados. Well, in my mail today is the first CVRHS Ambassador of the year and on the cover is CV 470 pulling the CN combine on the Lewiston Branch. I knew CV 470 spent some time on the Grand Trunk New England and was well photographed pulling train 16/17, but had no idea it ran the mixed train too. Totally exciting for me and yet another modelling opportunity. Photo by John Ames at Danville Jct. ME.
