Canadian Pacific Railway P2 Class 2-8-2 Mikado - Steam Locomotive #5352

This class differed greatly in appearance and specifications between sub-classes of 174 locomotives that were built by the CPR, CLC and MLW between 1919 and 1948. Beginning with P2e sub-class 5360 one-piece cast bed and a multiple throttle were major improvements. The most noticeable difference in appearance came with the introduction of semi-streamlined engines as in other classes that distinguished CPR power. P2g 5405 was the first such engine built July 1940 by Montreal Locomotive Works. Carrying 275 lbs. pressure and counter-balanced for 65 mph compared to earlier sub-classes with 200 or 250 lbs and 50 mph. These P2 class 2-8-2's were very capable and used across most of the system in freight and passenger service. CLC and MLW would continue building these engines until MLW turned out 5473 in October of 1948.
