Up for sale is a trade token issued in 1979 during the Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival held in Squamish, British Columbia. The obverse of this medal displays Canadian Pacific locomotive # 2860. This locomotive, with four pilot wheels, six driving wheel, and four trailing wheels, is known as a hudson type steam locomotive. Locomotive # 2850 was used to carry the Royal Train for King George VI during his 1939 visit to Canada. King George VI was so pleased by the locomotive's performance that he permitted the company to designated this locomotive class 'Royal Hudson.' The Squamish Logger Sports Days dates back to 1957 as a friendly competition among loggers. Today it is an annual event where lumberjacks come together to compete in everything from axe throwing, log rolling, and an 8 km run. There are also wacky events like bed racing. For attendants, there are pancake breakfasts and parades. The other face of the medal displays two lumberjacks engaged in a tree climbing competition. The event was held August 3, 4, 5, and 6, 1979. This token was worth $1 redeemable at the festival through September 15, 1979. This token is ideal for those who have logging heritage and rail enthusiasts. Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.
