Of the many 44 Tonners which survive, there are three
known in Canada, this example, one in Ogema,
Saskatchewan which, at last report was still in use, and
a third in Port Stanley, Ontario, status uncertain.
Historically speaking, the engine was initially
designated "7551", a class Y-1-a locomotive. It was
renumbered "7752" in December of 1950. It seems to have
been again renumbered "2" in June of 1956. GE serial
number (or model number) 28300, it appears to have been
built in May of 1947. In April of 1965 it was sold to
Bowaters Mersey Paper of Liverpool, NS and
acquired by the museum in 1991. |
