Max Jacquiard - Royal Hudson under Lions Gate Bridge

BC Rail's Royal Hudson #2860 was built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1940,
one of the last group of five ordered by the railway. Locomotives of the 4-6-4
wheel arrangement were pioneered in North America by the New York Central
and named after its Hudson river line. When the King and Queen of England
toured Canada in 1939, the royal train was drawn by C.P. Hudson #2850,
dressed for the occasion with Royal crown crests on its running boards. Royal
permission was given for this engine's sisters to continue to wear this crest in
regular service, hence the name 'Royal Hudson'. Spanning the First Narrows
between Stanley Park and the North Shore, Vancouver's Lions Gate bridge
is about three years older than the 2860..

Max Jacquiard has a sizeable research library of printed materials, photos and
slides of steam trains and the places they would have operated. It is that attention
to precise and accurate details that can be seen in his paintings. The sensitivity
to his subject and quiet passion that is infused into each work seem to allow
Max Jaquiard to breath life into the canvases. The images he creates have
captured the imaginations of steam buffs across Canada and the United
States. His paintings grace the walls in homes across North America.
