| 1893-10-21 | 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.

| 1897-06-17 | The engine, 'Old No. 21,' known as one of the most reliable and powerful engines upon the run, was a bad looking mass as it lay buried in the ditch about half of it being visible, and the remainder completely embedded in the roadway. ... The engine on which Fireman Rogers, Engineer Casey and the brakeman were riding lies to-day a mass of ruins, buried six feet in the ground. (Ottawa Citizen: 'the engine is almost a total wreck'.) Number 21 is identified with CA 620 on the strength of the site's existing 1893 fact 'Locomotive No. 21, one of the two new passenger locomotives' on that entity; the Journal calls it a lumber-train engine, which is an inference to check. | Ottawa Journal 1897-06-17(Transcribed by Colin J.
