Grand Trunk 0-4-2 Locomotives in Canada


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1/F-8 (Locobase 11621)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 15, p. 242. Works numbers were 10701, 10717 in March 1890.

After 25 years of service on the GTR, the railway sold the 3 in August 1916 to the Steel Company of Canada. Slightly more than two years later, the 4 went to Burns & Roberts in September 1918.
