The latter company, one of Britain’s great railways, conceived the happy idea of naming each of these engines after one; of the steamship companies serving the port of Southampton, peacetime berth of the Canadian Pacific’s great white Empresses which in war-time camouflage arc now ac­ quitting themselves with notable gal­ lantry. The powerful new locomotive, whose streamlined sides beat the Canadian LL.D., chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway was read during the ceremony. “We consider it a great honor,” Sir Edward said, “to have a Southern Railway locomotive designated ‘Canadian Pa­ cific’ and look upon it as a tribute to the men of our own fleet who have lost their lives at sea or are still serving heroically.” A glimpse of the “Canadian Pa­ cific” appears above, while inset is shown the engine’s glittering name­ plate with the chequered house flag ■ of the company’s steamships, De­ signed for both passehgei' and freight service, the new engine will be clad in “battledress” for the duration, after which, it will appear in the glamorous green that characterizes the Southern Railway’s engines in peacetime.
