DAR2552

Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 2552, Haliburton

Built by the CPR Angus shops in March of 1909, 2552 was the first 4-6-2 Pacific to serve on the D.A.R. showing up as a D.A.R unit on M.P. 14 1938 and listed as a D.A.R. unit way through to 1950. From 1952 to 1955 it was still listed but as a C.P.R. unit in the M.P. 14s. It had earlier served on another CPR subsidiary, the Montreal and Atlantic and was listed as such in 1927. (1) (2) It was scrapped in July 1956.(1)

From the photos it is evident that this locomotive was repainted from C.P.R. to D.A.R. colours between 1949 and 1950.
