Hello, I'm trying to find any pictures of locomotives that ran through to Coal Creek, BC or Fernie, BC in Canada. This will be for a headstone for my grandfather that was a Forman for one of the rail maintenance crews. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Inside 2102s cab looking across the cab from Fireman’s seat.
The wood interior is a recent addition since her most recent restoration. The old phone style radio from years ago is gone, so are the PRR cabs signals. Originally behind the Engineers seat there was a locker. The only Reading T1 with the locker is 2124 but it’s been removed from the cab and rests in her tender.
