- Description
- A rectangular, linen placemat with a black boarder. The placemat contains painted images of two trains in profile, both facing the viewer-left direction. Near the top, there is a 4-4-0 steam locomotive – representing the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels. The locomotive leads with a pilot (cow-catcher), and has a yellow “5” within a circle near the front. The locomotive is pulling a tender (coal-car), which is mainly green and contains the text “C 129 P” painted in yellow. Underneath this train is a 4-4-2 steam locomotive – representing the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles, and two trailing wheels on one axle. The locomotive contains the text “990” in yellow paint. The locomotive is pulling a tender (coal-car), which contains the text “G N R” in yellow paint. Between both trains, towards the viewer-left side, is the text “Canadian Pacific 1857.” in black paint.
