R.R. #1, Shubie, Nova Scotia, Canada BON 2H0
Here is a picture of a steam locomotive #514 (later the number
was changed to #4) loaded with gas engines at the Bridgewater plant
in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia.
A brief history of the locomotive is as follows:
Locomotive #4 of the Halifax and Southwestern Railroad is shown
loaded with Acadia gas engines September 1917. Engineer is Al
Langille. The locomotive was shipped to Halifax by sea in 1889 from
Patterson, New Jersey. It used to belong to Nova Scotia Central
Railroad out of Lunenburg. It was scrapped in 1923.

You can barely make out the gas engine sign on the box on the
door. These railroad tracks are now only used twice a week.
