PGE gets new additions within the week

There are three locomotives on route for delivery within the month, two of which within the week.

The new Heavy Mountain being delivered from CNR's Montreal roundhouse is on route and should arrive within the week. The Mikado coming down from the Vancouver Roundhouse can be expected as early as Wednesday.

Along with the u1d the CNR's delivery should also include a pair of coaches and a railway post car.

The unfortunate thing that came up this week is that the route that the PGE was originally taking through the lower cascades has caused some issues and is requiring additional workers.

A Shay locomotive may be needed to help out with the construction of the main line. Currently the GP9 has been assigned to this duty.
