CN 4-6-0 #1551 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
Our guide on the Age of Steam Roundhouse toru explained that this 4-6-0 ten wheeler was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in April of 1912 originally as Canadian Northern Rwy #1354 (serial #50778). In 1956, it was renumbered to #1551. Its last days under CN were spent on a branch line to Barrie, Ontario, Canada until 1958. |

CN 4-6-0 #1551 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
We found out during the tour that upon retirement, the loco was sold to Nelson F. Blount for his Steamtown. In 1986, Jerry Jacobson acquired No. 1551 in trade for his Jackson Iron & Steel 0-6-0 No. 3, which originally had been the shop switcher at the Baldwin Locomotive Works. It was operational on Jacobson's tourist trains starting in 1988. After logging many miles on the OC, No. 1551 was parked in 2003 in need of a number of repairs. Today the “engine that started it all” rests in the Age of Steam Roundhouse, awaiting a trip to the backshop for another overhaul and return to operation. |

CN 4-6-0 #1551 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
Original CNRwy specs - 63" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure (later increased to 200 psi by CN), 22x26" cylinders, engine wt of 173,000 lb and tractive force of 28,063 lb. Unfortunately, I believe this is one of the few locos in the Age of Steam Roundhouse collection that is missing its builder's plate - long gone before it arrived here. |
