These are great photos. Thank you for sharing them.
The big 4-4-0s are especially attractive, and remind me of Newport & Sherman's Valley No. 5 from Pennsylvania:
(This engine was built by Pittsburgh in 1883 as Maryland Central No. 5: https://www.maparailroadhist.org/predsteam.html. It's one of many examples in my mind of striking similarity in locomotive designs between Pittsburgh and Canadian.)
