Canadian National Railway (CN) Class O-9 steam locomotives were of 0-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or " C " in UIC classification. These locomotives were built for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) and Detroit and Toledo Shore Line Railroad (D&TSL) from 1903 through 1913. Many were scrapped during the 1930s although some survived into the 1950s with sequential renumbering into the CN 7200 series in 1952 and 7300 series in 1956. [1] The sole survivor of this class is number 7312, which has been owned by the Strasburg Rail Road in Pennsylvania since 1960.

BC Rail is a railway in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of locomotives, 4-6-4 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels, six powered and coupled driving wheels and four trailing wheels. In France where the type was first used, it is known as the Baltic while it became known as the Hudson in most of North America.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 4-8-4 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles and four trailing wheels on two axles. The type was first used by the Northern Pacific Railway, and initially named the Northern Pacific, but railfans and railroad employees have shortened the name since its introduction. It is most-commonly known as a Northern.
Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) was a Canadian railway locomotive manufacturer which existed under several names from 1883 to 1985, producing both steam and diesel locomotives. For a number of years it was a subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company. MLW's headquarters and manufacturing facilities were in Montreal, Quebec.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-6-0 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, usually in a leading truck, six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles and no trailing wheels. This arrangement is commonly called a Mogul.
The Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad is a class II railroad that operates in northwestern Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio.
The Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company was an American subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway, later of the Canadian National Railway operating in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Since a corporate restructuring in 1971, the railroad has been under CN's subsidiary holding company, the Grand Trunk Corporation. Grand Trunk Western's routes are part of CN's Michigan Division. Its primary mainline between Chicago and Port Huron, Michigan serves as a connection between railroad interchanges in Chicago and rail lines in eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States. The railroad's extensive trackage in Detroit and across southern Michigan has made it an essential link for the automotive industry as a hauler of parts and automobiles from manufacturing plants.
The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway was a Class I railroad, operating between Waukegan, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. The railroad served as a link between Class I railroads traveling to and from Chicago, although it operated almost entirely within the city's suburbs, and only entered Chicago where it served the U.S. Steel South Works on the shores of Lake Michigan. Nicknames for the railroad included "The J" and "The Chicago Outer Belt Line". At the end of 1970, the EJ&E operated 164 miles of track and carried 848 million ton-miles of revenue freight in that year alone.
Great Western 90 is a 2-10-0 "Decapod" type steam locomotive owned and operated by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1924, No. 90 originally pulled sugar beet trains for the Great Western Railway of Colorado. In April 1967, No. 90 was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road where it now resides and operates today for use on excursion trains. Today, the locomotive is currently undergoing 1,472 day inspection and overhaul.
The Confederation type was a large locomotive type with a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement used on Canadian railways. Most were built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in Montreal, Quebec, and the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) in Kingston, Ontario, for the Canadian National Railway (CNR). The "Confederation" type was later given the more common designation "Northern" type. They were the backbone of the CNR locomotive fleet from the 1930s to the 1950s. Eight locomotives of this type have been preserved from the CNR and 2 CPR fleets.
CN O-18-a is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives formerly owned by Canadian National Railways. They were switchers built by the Grand Trunk Railway's Point St. Charles Shops. Canadian National used the letter O to designate 0-6-0s.
The Class KF was a 4-8-4 mainline passenger steam locomotive type built in the United Kingdom by the Vulcan Foundry for the railways of China. Between 1935 and 1936, 24 locomotives were built for the Guangzhou–Hankou Railway designated as the 600 series. Following World War II, and the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Government assumed control of the railway and re-designated the engines in 1954 as the "ㄎㄈ" class from the first two syllables of "Confederation", and in 1959 as the "KF" class.
Canadian National Railway (CN) Class O-19 steam locomotives were of 0-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or " C " in UIC classification. These USRA 0-6-0 locomotives were built for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) in 1919 and remained in yard service until the final replacement of steam with diesel locomotives. ALCO builders numbers 60187 through 60191 were built at the Cooke plant as Grand Trunk Western Railroad numbers 1744 through 1748 while builders numbers 61298 through 61302 were built at the Schenectady, New York plant numbered 1824 through 1828 for use on New England lines. The locomotives were renumbered from 7522 through 7531 under Canadian National control, but retained Grand Trunk lettering for service in the United States.
Canadian National Railway (CN) Class E-7 steam locomotives were of 2-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or 1′C in UIC classification. These locomotives were built for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) from 1898 through 1908. Some of the class had been built as compound locomotives with 200 psi (1,400 kPa) boilers feeding 22.5-inch (570 mm) and 35-inch (890 mm) by 26-inch (660 mm) cylinders; but all save one had been rebuilt as simple single expansion locomotives beginning in 1911. GT began adding superheaters to these locomotives in 1913. CN simplified the last compound and continued the superheating conversions, but some locomotives never received superheaters. Most of the class were scrapped in the 1930s; but number 713 worked on the Berlin Subdivision branch to Lewiston, Maine, until replaced by diesel locomotives in 1957, and was preserved in the Canadian Railway Museum.
Canadian National Railway class O-8 was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives. Forty-four tank locomotives were built by the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) in their Point St. Charles shops from 1884 through 1895. Most were built with round-topped saddle-tanks and classified as F4 by GT and later O-8-a by CN, but the eight built in 1887 had rectangular side tanks and were designated as class F3 by GT and O-8-b by CN. Thirty-nine of the class survived to receive CN numbers, but most were scrapped or sold within the first decade of CN operation. Two remained in service until 1940. CN number 7105 was sold to Consolidated Sand and Gravel Company in 1928 and served as their number 101 until repurchased in 1952 for the CN Museum Train. It was renumbered 247 and transferred to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in 1967.
Canadian National Railway (CN) Class I-8 steam locomotives were of 4-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or " 2'C " in UIC classification. These locomotives were built for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) from 1906 through 1908 for passenger service. Most were scrapped in the 1930s, but number 1620 remained operational through World War II.
The Commonwealth Railways CN class was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives purchased by the Commonwealth Railways, Australia, from the Canadian National Railway (CN) during World War II, for use on the Trans-Australian Railway.
Canadian National 7312 is an 0-6-0 "Switcher" type steam locomotive originally built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in August 1908 for the Canadian National Railway. It is owned and in active restoration by the Strasburg Rail Road outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania.
Canadian National 6060 is a 4-8-2 “Mountain”-type steam locomotive built in 1944 by the Montreal Locomotive Works as the first of the U-1-f class for the Canadian National Railway (CN).
Canadian National Railway No. 6400 is a preserved 4-8-4 “Confederation” or “Northern” type locomotive built in June 1936 for the Canadian National Railway (CNR).
