 Hi I'm Caroline. Behind me is the Canadian Pacific 3100 locomotive. It was originally built at the Angus workshops in Montreal. At their peak, the workshops were as big as 135 football fields stuck together and home to over 12,000 railway employees. They were the largest workshops in the country. Although these locomotives were built with very innovative features, only two of them were built. Because of the innovative features, the locomotive was very heavy and vibrated when it reached very very high speeds. Not only do these large wheels contribute to the fact that the locomotive weighs 728,000 pounds, they also allowed it to travel up to speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. Welcome inside the cab of the locomotive. Temperatures in here could soar up to 35 to 40 degrees celsius. That's hot enough to fry an egg on the boiler. To learn more about steam technology as well as to see our locomotives stop by the Canada Science and Technology Museum to see more.
