Canadian Pacific Railway No. 1246 was one of three 1200-series Canadian Pacific Railway locomotives in the Steamtown, U.S.A. collection. Like CP 1293 and CP 1278, this locomotive was one of the operational engines at Steamtown. When Steamtown left its Bellows Falls, Vermont location in the fall of 1983, the engine led the "farewell to Vermont" excursions. There were two such 100-mile (160 km) excursions "through a landscape of covered bridges, rushing streams and scenic countryside". The train had the capacity of 800–1000 passengers. Built in 1946, CPR 1246 is a 4-6-2 type, class G5c locomotive. In June 1967, Canadian Pacific 1246 was sold to the Green Mountain Railroad and relettered to GMRy 1246. It remained under Green Mountain ownership until was sold back to Steamtown six years later
