At the conclusion of the exhibition, she will again run through Canada to be reloaded for ship­ ment td Britain. From Montreal to Chicago the Royal Scot will traverse the rails of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with stops en route at Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton and other points. On her return journey she will travel over the lines „of the Canadian National Railways With similar stops for , public in­ spection at various towns and Citie'S. Details of the itineraries of this famous train en route to and from Chicago will shortly be announced. Canadians will have an oppor­ tunity to compare the Canadian locomotives to which they have become accustomed with the 6100 of the L.
