	Montreal Locomotive Works - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MLW grew substantially during the Second World War when its plant facilities were converted primarily to fabricating war materiel for the Commonwealth/Allied war effort (largely by a female workforce).
		MLW also benefited from Canadian trade policies which were less restrictive than the those of the U.S. in regard to dealing with communist governments and countries throughout the Third World, permitting MLW to expand a growing export business.
		MLW also continued to drive its locomotive research and development by introducing an early version of alternating current traction motor design with its 1984 demonstrator model M-640 for the Canadian Pacific Railway, although no other purchases were made.

	Canada Science and Technology Museum
		Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1936, CN 6400 was a passenger locomotive designed in conjunction with the NRC, CN and MLW in an attempt to provide a semi-streamlined design which could help avoid the age old problem of smoke obscuring the engineer's vision.
		The locomotive operated in Ontario-Quebec regions and was one of the CNR locomotives used to haul the Royal Train in 1939.
		These locomotives were eventually referred to by the popular press as "Royal Hudson" due to the fact that a number of this class, particularly CP 2850, were used to haul the Royal Train in 1939, hence the crown on the running board.

		Locomotive #514 rolled out of the La Grange, IL locomotive works of the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in 1958, putting it near the end of the production run of the famous GP-9 locomotives ("GP" designates a General Purpose locomotive, and "9" was the model number).
		Work began in the late 1990s through a partnership with the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society.
		The locomotive is undergoing heavy repairs and restoration in the Steamtown Locomotive Shop (many of the pictures on the "Unusual Scenes at Steamtown" page, and its archive pages, show work on this locomotive) with initial work being done under contract with the LandWVRHS.

		American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was formed in 1901 when seven smaller locomotive builders merged with the Schenectady Locomotive Works (Schenectady, NY) in order to compete against the largest locomotive builder of the day, the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
		The American Locomotive Company was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudsons and the 4-8-4 Niagras built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 Challengers and the 4-8-8-4 Big Boys it built for the Union Pacific were its finiest examples.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		However, the locomotive's official records had been destroyed in a roundhouse fire on the Canadian National, and Blount could not document the condition of its flues, so the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the locomotive retired until it could either be documented or be reflued.
		Furthermore, as this locomotive and sisters of her class predate by the better part of a decade the one American 4-6-4T built in 1922 and the six built in 1923, it seems likely that they influenced the design of the American locomotives.
		The NPS should commission a report on the subject of this locomotive; the report should be exhaustively researched in the Montreal region to ascertain what changes in appearance and fabric may have taken place over the career of this locomotive.

	RCT&HS Glossary
		ALCO (American Locomotive Company)—Originally formed as a steam locomotive manufacturer from several small builders, ALCO diversified into diesel power relatively early, but was plagued till its end by a (not always deserved) reputation of unreliability (though the Reading faired well with their seizable fleet of RS-3s).
		MLW continued to produce locomotives for the Canadian and export markets for several years and in 1975 was acquired by Bombardier, which ceased production of diesel locomotives in 1985.
		Saddletankers were often used by railroads to work in areas where space and clearance were at a premium such as: mines, lumber mills, manufacturing plants, construction sites and engine terminals.

		These were the first locomotives in North America to have nickel steel boilers and the first Canadian Pacific engines to be built new with feedwater heaters.
		Because of the locomotive's overall excellent condition, Steamtown began its overhaul in March 1976 so it could pull a bicentennial train known by the unwieldy title of Vermont Bicentennial Steam Expedition sponsored by the State of Vermont.
