Geocache Description:


Quelle surprise de voir qu'aucune cache ne se trouve devant un des musées les plus populaires de la région. Cette cache a été placée avec la permission de la direction du musée. 

Cette locomotive à vapeur a été construite par la Montreal Locomotive Works pour les Chemins de fer nationaux du Canada en juin 1942. La locomotive a fonctionné dans l'est du Canada avant d'être transférée au Musée des sciences et de la technologie du Canada en juin 1967. Voici un exemple de 4-8-4 , ou locomotive de type Northern, largement utilisée pour le service de trains de voyageurs et de marchandises. Bien adapté aux besoins du CN, en 1944, le chemin de fer exploite 203 locomotives de ce type. Cette locomotive mesure 28,9 m de long et pèse 302 823 kg en état de marche. En 1960, les locomotives à vapeur ont été retirées du service régulier et remplacées par des locomotives dieselélectriques.

What a surprise to see that no cache has been hidden in front of that museum which is one of the most popular in Ottawa. This cache has been placed with the permission of the Museum. Do Not Climb on the Train!

This steam locomotive was constructed by the Montreal Locomotive Works for the Canadian National Railways in June 1942. The locomotive operated in eastern Canada before being transferred to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in June 1967. This is an example of a 4-8-4, or Northern, type locomotive used extensively for both passenger and freight train service. Well suited to CN’s needs, by 1944 the railway was operating 203 locomotives of this type. This locomotive is 28.9 m long and weighed 302 823 kg in working order. By 1960 steam locomotives were withdrawn from regular service and replaced by dieselelectric locomotives.
