I suspect it was a different kind of "fire man" he was talking about.

I was being a ‘boob’ I know what type of fireman he was referring to.

The kind that prevents this from happening

I'm actually a fireman in training (no pun intended) on the same little railroad that the diesel I'm running in the pictures works on. And it's no walk in the park either... here's our steamer

Yes, figured as much. Guess our humor isn't lining up tonight.

All is good guys. When I said my grandfather was a fireman for the Santa Fe Railroad, I should have said "Fire Fighter" for the Santa Fe Railroad. So WaterScoop your picture with the firetruck was right. Santa Fe had their own fire department for their railroad.

A few months ago I met an old fellow that worked at this locomotive manufacturing plant in Kingston On. He said that they made 120 engines and all were made without brakes on them, he still couldn't figure out why. Looking at the history of orders one can see where the engines went.

The last steam was shipped in September 1956.
Here is a list of steam orders from 1948 until the end of steam production in 1956.
30 4-6-2 for the CPR, April to August 1948
60 2-8-2 for India, October 1948 to February 1949
80 4-6-2 for India, May 1949 to February 1950. These were the last steam built using CLC made boilers and castings. From then on MLW supplied the boilers and freight car builder CC&F the castings.
10 2-8-2 for India, April 1950. Metre gauge,
6 4-8-2 for Brazil. November and December 1950. These had MLW builders plates!
120 4-6-2 India, March 1955 to September 1956.
An advertisement from 1960 shows that CLC was still willing to build steam, although after 1956 no more were ever made.
They were actually willing and able to build nearly anything at various times in their history and made mining equipment, scrap yard car crushers and even golf carts and fibreglass boats.
Interestingly to, they built locomotives under license from all these builders: FM, Baldwin (production planned but they became a distributor only), Westinghouse, Heisler, Whitcomb, Porter, and Davenport.
The plant was tiny, and yet they produced an amazing stream of products.
