Description: Canadian Pacific "G5c" Class 4-6-2 No.1246 "F. Nelson Blount" blasts out of Bellows Falls with a Green Mountain R.R. enthusiasts' train, at Steamtown, Bellows Falls, Vermont 8/70. The "G5"'s were the last North American Pacifics to be built in 1944-48 and withdrawn 1959-64. They were intended for mixed traffic duties over secondary lines - rather like the GWR "Manors"! The CPR Workshops built 2 G5a's 1944; MLW built 30 G5b's 1945-46 and the CLC built 40 G5c's 1946-47 and 30 "G5d's" in 1948. Many had all welded boilers. The G5 was simply an updated version of the G2's built 1906-14.
