CN 4-4-0 #40 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
This ornate 4-4-0 locomotive has quite a history behind it. Built by the Portland Locomotive Works of Portland, ME, in November of 1872 as GTR #362 (seriall #233), it was renumbered in 1898 to #40. The loco was sold to Breakey Lumber in January of 1903. CN re-acuqired the loco in 1947 or 1948 and renumbered it 40. CN 40 is believed to be the only surviving Portland Company 4-4-0, a type of locomotive that was the standard North American engine of the nineteenth century. CN 40 is also the oldest surviving passenger locomotive of the GTR, Canada’s first major railway system, making it the oldest surviving passenger locomotive in Canada. Specs - serial #233, originally 66" drivers but converted to 68" later, modest 135 psi boiler pressure, 16x24" cylinders, engine weight of 80,360 lb, wood burner but converted to coal burning. It was donated to the Canadian Historical Rwy Association and is now a premier piece in the Exporail collection. Unknown photographer. |

CN 4-4-0 #331 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
Cute example of a Montreal Locomotive Works 4-4-0 built for the Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) of Canadia and delivered to them in April of 1908 as their #57. When the GTP was nationalized in 1920, the new Canadian National renumbered it to #331 as seen here. The plucky locomotive served until being scrapped in August of 1938. The date is an approximation. Photo is from the Colin Menzies III collection. |
