Period

1951-1976

Canada

ONE OF 1ST 2 'C' LINE LOCOMOTIVES BUILT IN CANADA REPRESENTING 1 OF 3 MAJOR SUPPLIERS OF 1ST GENERATION DIESELS. 4064 & 4065 WERE USED FIRST AS DEMONSTRATORS & TOURED SEVERAL CANADIAN CITIES, LETTERED 'CLC CITY OF KINGSTON'/ NOW 4065 IS 1 OF 2 SURVIVING 'C' LINES IN CANADA & WAS PART OF CPR'S HISTORICAL COLLECTION.

Function

A DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE USED FIRST AS A DEMONSTRATOR OF DIESEL DESIGN, & LATER AS WORKING LOCOMOTIVE TO TRANSPORT FREIGHT.

Technical

CPR & CNR WERE ATTRACTED TO DIESEL POWER IN LATE 1940'S BECAUSE IT REDUCES FUEL COSTS & OPERATING CREW COSTS (DUE TO INCREASED TONNAGE OF TRAINS). 4065 EMPLOYS 1600 H.P. OPPOSED PISTON DIESEL ENGINE. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE INTACT BECAUSE CPR STOPPED USING THIS MAKE BEFORE 4065 WAS RETIRED & SO ITS PARTS WERE NOT SCAVENGED.
