| 1893-12-21 | One of two old locomotives that had worked on the construction of the O.A. & P.S. railway during the summer, No. 5, a light engine, arrived with No. 2 at the Elgin street yard; unless needed for extra service in the yard it would be shipped for the winter. The item says "numbers 2 and 5"; identification of No. 5 as this engine is the operator's. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-12-21(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) | |
