| 1890-11-10 | Canada Atlantic 4-4-0 #610 | 'No. 15,' a splendid new engine, was rebuilt at the C.A.R. shops on Elgin Street, manufactured originally by the Baldwin Foundry company of Philadelphia but entirely rebuilt in the C.A.R. workshops under the direct supervision of Mr. Donaldson. She is a 17 x 24 cylinder engine, four wheels coupled, with an Eames brake, driving wheels 5 feet 8.5 inches in diameter, fitted with full equipment for heating the cars (dispensing with stoves), intended for about fifty miles an hour, and painted dark olive green and gold bearing 'C.A.R. 15'. The C.A.R. express from Ottawa to Montreal was taken down by the new engine on its first complete journey; its trial trip on the preceding Saturday, from the Elgin Street depot, ran 12 miles to Eastman's and back, in 8 minutes for the return 12 miles at a pressure of 140. | Ottawa Journal 1890-11-10(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-04-14≥ | Canada Atlantic 4-4-0 #606 | By April 14, 1893, No. 6 engine, with four cars, had run off the track near the C.P.R. crossing on the Monday; as far as could be learned no persons were injured. The engine and No. 30, which had been up the line at the time, had not been able to get back to Ottawa and were stationed near "Doyle's cut", a few miles from Carp, where men were working night and day; the loads of stone carried up to complete the Arnprior bridge were thought too heavy and to be destroying the track, and it was said no more freight would be carried until the ballasting was completed. | Almonte Gazette 1893-04-14(Carp News: "Yesterday (Monday)".

| 1893-05-20≥ | Canada Atlantic 0-6-6T #724 | By May 20, 1893, No. 4 shunter had collided in the C.A.R. yards, on the previous Thursday evening, with a boxcar a little foul of the track; the shock badly damaged the shunter's cabin, nearly tearing it off the locomotive, and the track was left covered with glass and bits of iron. The men running the engine escaped serious injury, only jostled by the cabin being torn down above their heads; both boxcar and shunter went in for repairs. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-05-20(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-06-23 | Canada Atlantic 4-4-0 #607 | No. 1 locomotive from the Parry Sound Colonization company's road was turned out of the C.A.R. shops repaired and repainted and generally fixed up. The engine, of very old construction, burned wood altogether and had a funnel fully five feet in diameter on its smoke stack, making the whole engine appear ancient; the company found wood easier to use on its line because it was handier and cheaper there than coal. On June 29 the engine was lingering around the depot waiting for its tender, which was being repaired and repainted, its unique and ancient appearance attracting much attention. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-06-23(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-07-26 | Canada Atlantic 2-6-0 #682 | Locomotive No. 32 of the C.A.R. was turned out of the sheds entirely rebuilt; it had been running for several years and, although no accident had happened to it, a thorough repairing was thought necessary. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-07-26(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) |
| 1893-07-26 | Canada Atlantic 4-4-0 #606 | The old locomotive No. 6, which ran the regular morning train over the Parry Sound road, was sent down the line to Coteau, where it would act as a shunter; in its place the old engine from the Colonization road was put. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-07-26(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) |
| 1893-08-08 | Canada Atlantic 2-6-0 #665 | Locomotive No. 61 was in the sheds for a thorough overhauling; already "the monster" had been greatly reduced in bulk until only the boiler and flues remained, and a new firebox was to be placed in her and new tires set on the drivers. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-08-08(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) |
| 1893-08-08≤ | Unidentified Locomotives 0 | Two new locomotives for the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound railway, built entirely in the Kingston Locomotive Works, were expected the following week: a freight mogul with 18x26-inch cylinders, said to be the heaviest in that part of the country and able to pull 45 loaded cars on a slight incline with ease, and a heavy passenger locomotive expected to surpass the engines then running on the C.A.R. lines in weight and speed. Both were to be set to work as soon as they arrived, their assistance being "needed at once"; another passenger engine of the same build was to be ready for active service in less than a month. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-08-08(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-08-19 | Parry Sound Colonization Railway #2 - William Beatty | Engine No. 2 of the Colonization railway, named the "Wm. Beatty", arrived at the C.A.R. yards at Ottawa for repairs (the Free Press had said on August 8 it was expected down to the shops in a few days). It was one of the oldest locomotives in that part of Canada, one of a batch of twelve brought from Wales some twenty years earlier for the Toronto, Grey and Bruce road, and had been on the Parry Sound Colonization road since its inception. Built without a cab (a comfortable one was added later), it had forty-inch driving wheels of forged wrought iron and burned wood entirely under a broad-topped stack; driver Teague took up its companion engine No. 1 and brought No. 2 down by way of Toronto and the Grand Trunk, the 550 miles taking from Monday morning until half past five that morning. After repairs it was to ply the yards for a while and then go back to the Colonization road. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-08-08(Engine No. 2 of the Parry Sound road expected at t...),Ottawa Free Press 1893-08-19(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-09-14≤ | Unidentified Locomotives 0 | The three new O.A. & P.S. Ry. engines, one mogul (ten tons heavier than the heaviest then on the line) and two passenger locomotives, were expected to arrive on Saturday from the shop where they had been fitted up, and would be put to work at once. They had been expected the previous Monday but were delayed in the shop. On September 20 the Journal noted that the C.A.R.'s locomotives were being used on the O.A. & P.S. for the present, with others to be built for special use on the line. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-09-14(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-09-22 | Canada Atlantic 2-6-0 #710 | Locomotive No. 100, the largest of three new locomotives reported as arriving from the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, reached Ottawa about the third week of September 1893, having come from the St. Albans shops; the Free Press called it "by far the strongest mogul which runs into Ottawa", built to meet the increased international trade between Ottawa and Rouse's Point, which the large business already begun on the O.A. & P.S. was greatly augmenting. Hundreds of people admired it. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-09-22(Nos. 21 and 100 had arrived from the St. Albans sh...),Ottawa Journal 1893-09-26("Speedy Engines" article; the locomotives had arri...) |
| 1893-09-22 | Central Vermont #30 | Locomotive No. 30, a Central Vermont engine that had been in use by the Canada Atlantic for several years, now ran the Parry Sound morning train; the engine had been in use all summer on the Hawkesbury branch. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-09-22(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1893-09-29≥ | Canada Atlantic 2-6-0 #710 | The big one-hundred-ton engine of the C.A.R. made her initial trip down to Coteau on Monday, September 25; when starting the return journey on Tuesday the steam pressure forced off the cap of the whistle, all the steam escaped and the fires had to be put out while repairs were made. By September 29 she had also broken down at Bearbrook while hauling a special the previous day, and being so heavy had broken seven rails on her first trip. | Ottawa Journal 1893-09-28(Initial trip to Coteau "Monday", whistle cap blown...),Ottawa Journal 1893-09-29("Yesterday, while hauling a special, she broke dow...) |

| 1893-10-21 | Canada Atlantic 4-4-2 #620 | Locomotive No. 21, one of the two new passenger locomotives, was tested up to 67 miles per hour, making that time seemingly without great exertion and, it was thought, capable of going much faster if required. It had arrived from the St. Albans shops in the week of September 22, described as a heavy and powerful passenger locomotive; Ed Chase was its driver. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-09-22(No. 21 had arrived from the St. Albans shops.
