Notable Locomotives Built By MLW
MLW built several of Canada's most famous locomotives. Most notably, Canadian Pacific 2800 series 4-6-4 Hudson class of locomotives. The 2800s became famous after CPR 2850 pulled the royal train across Canada. Since then, later 2800s (numbered 2820–2864) are known as Royal Hudsons, with royal permission granted from the king.
From 1968 to 1982 Via Rail operated a gas turbine powered passenger service between Toronto and Montreal. The locomotives were built by Montreal Locomotive Works.
