Steam loco operation

[Selector]

It was the case in some instances where the railroad management wanted the corporation to look modern when visible...mostly during the day, and that would have meant that diesels were favoured for scheduled runs during the day. At night, in order to meet the obligations, steam was still running, but not so visible. This was true in the case of the CPR and its subsidiary, the Kettle Valley Railway.
