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.

Famous quotes containing the words notable, locomotives and/or built:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
In the days of long ago,
Ranged where the locomotives sing
And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
“Once I built a railroad, made it run,
Made it race against time ...
Now it’s done,
Buddy, can you spare a dime?”
—Yip Harburg (1898–1981)
