A lot of history here! This was the second 70-tonner built. It spent years working for various Pinsly shortlines in the US before coming to the Thurso & Nation Valley, a non-common carrier railway of the Singer Manfacturing Co. in Quebec. It was re-engined in 1983 with a Cummins diesel. Sold in 1990 to Don Broadbear for use on tourist railway Port Stanley Terminal Rail as PSTR L4. In 1994 it was leased to OSR for use at Babcox & Wilcox in Cambridge (Galt), where it still remains in use.
