Data from "Locomotive Building," The Railroad Gazette, Vol XLI, No 2 (13 July 1906), p. 9.Works numbers were 749-750. See also R L Kennedy, "Quebec Central Railway" archived at Old Time Trains ([], last accessed 10 July 2010.)
The QCR was financed primarily by English interests. It was incorporated in 1869 as the Sherbrooke, Eastern Townships and Kennebec Railway and ran in the province south of the St Lawrence River. By 1875, it was renamed the QCR. Eventually, it owned 295 1/2 miles and leased about 65 more.
The pair of Moguls shown in this entry were relatively large and powerful for the wheel arrangement as operated in Canada.
In 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railway negotiated what RL Kennedy describes as "...one of its infamous 999-year leases"; during that time, Kennedy notes, the CPR owned only about 10% of the assets.
