| This is one of the lucky Canadian National steam locomotives to dodge the scrapper's torch and be preserved. Built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in August of 1923 (serial #1711, class U-1-a). the powerful locomotive served until retirement and donation to the Canadian Railroad Historical Association (CRHA) in Delson, Quebec, Canada in September of 1960. The CHRA eventually put the loco in a long-term lease to the city of Jasper, Alberta, Canada, in exchange for their CN 6060 locomotive. Currently it sits on display as a preserved specimen in Jasper.
