1. Canadian National Railway #1158 Marker
Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in April 1913, this engine was one of fifty G-16-a class constructed during the years 1912-1913.
They were built for Canadian National Railways predecessor The Canadian Northern. Engines from this series were small and simple, perfectly suited for the light duty jobs assigned to them.
These engines were known as Ten Wheelers, having 4 guide wheels and 6 drivers, burned coal, were hand fired and had a tolerance for rough track conditions like those found on prairie branch lines.
The 1158 retired and found a home at
the North Battleford Museum in 1960.
