The Canadian Pacific was so fond of the versatile Pacific type that it acquired new 4-6-2s as late as 1948, ordering them from Canadian builders or constructing them at its own large Angus Shops complex in Montreal. The locomotives of class G5 were intended for light freight duty across Canada. No. 1263, a representative of subclass G5c built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in 1946, is shown here at Chatham, Ontario on August 11, 1950 in an image from the Ed Emery collection provided by Tom Rock of T.D.R. Productions. The G5s had 20x28-inch cylinders and 70-inch diameter drivers. These specifications, together with an engine weight of 234,000 pounds and a boiler pressure of 250 pounds per square inch, gave them a tractive effort of 34,000 pounds. They had a grate area of 46 square feet and an evaporative heating surface of 2576 square feet. Although No. 1263 was scrapped, six of the G5s are extant. The best known is No. 1293 of subclass G5d, acquired in 1964 by the Steamtown Foundation and now owned and operated by the Ohio Central Railroad.
