The 1942 Montreal-built locomotive had been on display at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds since soon after its donation to the city of Toronto in 1960. Built in August 1942 by the Montreal Locomotive Works, it was part of an order of 35 identical locomotives built for the CNR during World War!2. 6213 is a U-2-g Class Northern-type steam locomotive with a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement. The engine and tender are 95 feet long,<15 feet high and weigh 315 tons. Each of the eight driving wheels is six feet in diameter and weighs over three tons. The engine was capable of speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. The tender behind tha locomotive is a Vanderbilt type, providing a capacity for 11,600 Imperial gallons of water and 18 tons of coal. No. 6213 was used to haul both passenger and freight trains well over a million miles during its 17-year career based in locations that ranged from Halifax to Saskatoon. |
