Introduction

While searching the Internet for information about the Royal Hudson,I could only find a bit here, a bit there, but not an "all-in-one" source that delved into the locomotive itself, it's origin, it's history etc. I have compiled all the information that I found on the Web, the newsgroups, and at our public library here in Squamish, BC, Canada. I have come up with, I hope, a complete and accurate web page about the Royal Hudson(s) that will be of value both to the casual and serious railfan, and to the tourist contemplating a visit to Southwestern BC who would like to experience the thrill of steam travel again, or for the first time.
