This is a collection of references to and sources of information about or mentioning CNR Mountain Class U-1f 4-8-2 6060 Bullet Nosed Betty.
The 6060 was the first of 20, numbered 6060 to 6079, built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1944. It is now owned by the Rocky Mountain Rail Society, and usually located in Jasper, Alberta.
This list is far from complete (it's just barely started), and additional information is welcome.

[On some browsers the main page is black text on dark blue,
hard to read.
Highlight it to see it.
The menu doesn't work at all with Netscape 4.04
(maybe because it uses Cascading Style Sheets?),
so nothing but news can be viewed.

[ President's Choice Trains http://www.pipcom.com/~tempus/trains/pctrains.html describes two of the PC trains, not entirely accurately; eg, "The train was developed in 1944 to be more versitile, lighter and faster than the 4-8-2 steam locomotive." [but it is a 4-8-2].]]
