Canadian Pacific 374
Decked out for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, the first CPR cross-country passenger train arrived in Vancouver in 1887. It was built by the CPR in 1886 and was one of eight similar steam locomotives built that year in Montreal. One year earlier, its sister Engine (No. 371), was the first Canadian Pacific Railway train to cross Canada, eventually arriving in Port Moody.
