This locomotive was used in the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, now known as Canadian National Railway. The locomotive was static for a number of years when finally a group of CN employees decided to restore it and put it on static display in front of the old CN Railway Station in Prince George. In 1975, City Council decided to build a small operational railway in Fort George Park and the locomotive was restored to operational status.
