The Giant and the Dwarf: Curly at Vancouver Exhibition
The tiny wood burner Curly, brought to British Columbia in 1871, stands beside a modern Canadian Pacific locomotive. After sixty years of service and a refit at Vancouver shops, Curly will be shown as a museum piece at the Vancouver Exhibition in August with engineer Bill Evans revisiting his early rail days.
