Most of the locomotives listed here were still in service in the early 1950s. These locomotives were part of the Canadian National roster, but were separately identified as Grand Trunk or Grand Trunk Western for service in the United States. Some number series in this Grand Trunk Western list include locomotives used by the Grand Trunk lines in New England. Because the Canadian National system used a percentage rating instead of a tractive effort figure, the tractive effort given for most classes is approximate. For surviving steam locomotives, visit the Grand Trunk Western page in Wes Barris' North American Steam Locomotive site. |
