Steam locomotive CN 6060 "The Spirit of Alberta" is a 4-8-2 Mountain type steam locomotive known to CN as a U-1-f class. 20 of these were built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1944. 6060 is owned by the Rocky Mountain Rail Society and powered excursions through Big Valley, Alberta. Currently it is down for maintenance but hopefully will return to service soon.

This video was uploaded by Steve Boyko after David's death, on the request of David's widow Pat. She wants to share David's work with everyone. This video was part of the OBE video "Canadian Trains from the Atlantic to the Pacific Volume 1". Apologies for any errors or omissions in the captions.
This video was recorded using a tripod-mounted camcorder on VHS videotape and then digitized, so the quality is not as good as David's later work.
