Canadian Pacific Railway No. 1278 like her sister CPR 1293 CPR 1278 was built by Canadian Locomotive Company in 1948 and is a type 4-6-2 class G5d light weight Pacific locomotive. It was purchased by F. Nelson Blount in May 1965 and renumbered 127. Blount had planned to renumber all three of the 1200-series CPR locomotives in his collection from 1246 1278 and 1293 to 124 127 and 129 respectively but 1278 was the only one of the three that underwent the change.
