| Canadian National 47: 4-6-4T, Builder: Montreal Locomotive Works, September 1914. Built for Grand Trunk Railway Co. of Canada as #1542. Became Canadian National #47, class X- 10a, after merger of the two companies in 1923. This Baltic Tank locomotive was used in commuter service around Montreal. Locomotive has no tender but a tank for water and a bin for five tons of coal built into the extended frame behind the cab. The engine operated equally well in forward or reverse, an important asset when commuter turning facilities were lacking. Sold to Nelson Blount in 1959. Only Baltic tank locomotive in the United States. |
