The History of Selkirk Locomotive CP5931 Outside Heritage Park in Calgary (Episode 221 - Part 1)

If you have ever driven along Heritage Drive in Calgary, you have probably seen the giant steam locomotive sitting outside the gate at Heritage Park. This locomotive has had an interesting history and in this episode we take you back to the 1950s and explain how this locomotive was saved and how it ended up in this spot.

I've also done something new in this video that I have not done on the channel before. I went through the auto-generate captions and edited them with better punctuation and spelling. To those viewers who use the captions, please let me know in the comments if you noticed and let me know you are out there so I know it is worth my time to continue to do so.

As always, thanks for coming along for the ride!
