5700
225 Wellington St.
Artist: Unknown (From ECRM Collection)
This 4-6-4 Class K5a Hudson was built in 1930 by the Montreal Locomotive Works and used by the Canadian National Railway on fast, light passenger trains in the Montreal-Windsor corridor before being retired. Originally numbered 5703, the ECRM’s 5700 was renumbered in 1960. When the original 5700, marked for preservation, was mistakenly scrapped, CN pulled 5703 from the scrap line and gave it the moniker of its sister.
