| 1901-5 | Built by Baldwin as CA 618 C/N 18977 | Railroad History #147 | |
| 1901-07-18 | Engine 618 of the Canada Atlantic Railway made a fast run Wednesday. The test was made from mile-post 20 to mile post 10 and the ten miles were covered in seven minutes and 31 seconds. The fastest mile was 39 3-5 seconds which is at the rate of 92 3/4 miles per hour, and the average for the ten miles was 83 miles per hour. Churcher's own note on the item: the CAR measured mileages from the US border, so this run may have been on the GTR main line east of Coteau rather than on CAR track proper. | Record, Chesterville 1901-07-18(Transcribed by Colin J.
