Prince Rupert, 1958. The package from Fairbanks Morse also included a short form product brochure from their Canadian licensee, Canadian Locomotive Company located in Kingston, Ontario.





And who can forget the "C-Liners," owned by both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, chortling along with that unique Opposed Piston motor.
In July 1965, CLC was renamed Fairbanks Morse (Canada) Limited. Look for the red builder’s plate, wherein CLC is replaced with Fairbanks Morse.
The combination of reduced numbers of locomotive orders and stiff competition resulted in the operation being shuttered in 1969.

Thank you Robert for your help in tracking down some of those mystery locomotives seen in the CLC catalogue pages shown here in this article. I have the book "Constructed in Kingston" and thought I knew everything about this builder. Your work proves that theory wrong and there is much left to uncover. Thanks!
