| 1898-5 | Built by Baldwin as OA&PS 693 C/N 15958 | Railroad History #147 | |
| 1899-08-05 | On Tuesday last the hydraulic lifting machinery at the C.A.R. Rideau workshops underwent a severe test when one of the largest compound engines was raised off the rails to repair the trucks. The monster locomotive, No. 693, which weighs 120 tons, was raised about four feet and the wheels removed for repairs. 'Rideau round house' / 'Rideau roundhouse' is read as Ottawa East Roundhouse. Same source as the workshop fact above; recorded separately for the locomotive itself. | Ottawa Citizen 1899-08-05(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) | |
