This locomotive was built in Kingston, Ontario by the Canadian Locomotive Works as part of Builders Order Number 572.
The locomotive was delivered to Canadian National Railways in September 1929 and was designated as a class U-1-d.
The locomotive has a 4-8-2 wheel arrangement, termed as a Mountain type. With a maximum tractive effort of 50,300 pounds at a boiler pressure of 250 psi the locomotive served Canadian National Railways for thirty one years.
The locomotive is 86'-2 1/2 (26.27 meters) in overall length with a working order weight of 580,000 pounds. (263,088 kilograms). The tender has a capacity of 4,000 gallons (18,184 liters) of fuel oil.
The 4-8-2 arrangement was introduced to Canadian National Railways in 1923 with the delivery of engine 6000, marking the appearance for the first time of eight coupled passenger and freight dual service engines. By distributing the engines weight over an extra axle than its predecessor 4-6-0 type permitted the engine to have a far greater capacity than its forerunners yet still maintaining the ability to negotiate often less than ideal roadbeds. Ultimately Canadian National Railways operated 286 engines of the Mountain type.
On April 25th, 1960 CN 6043 headed Canadian National Railways Train 76 from The Pas to Winnipeg, Manitoba. This was the last scheduled run of steam power on Canadian rails and thus ended the eventful era of steam in Canada's transportation scene.
The final run under steam power for CN 6043 was a special excursion arranged by the Manitoba Travel and Convention Association to Brandon from Winnipeg and return on June 22nd, 1961.
On March 16, 1983, the Committee on Recreation and Social Services recommended Winnipeg City Council move that the Midwestern Rail Association accept responsibility for the locomotive until the locomotive was removed from Assiniboine Park at which time ownership of the locomotive will be transferred to the Association.

RAILREEL WORKING ON THE OSR St Thomas Ontario Oct 10 2018
Two jobs ended up in St Thomas today. OSR 378 and 383 ran from Ingersoll to St Thomas and OSR which was in Tillsonburg ran from Tillsonburg to St Thomas. I caught them both in St Thomas. I had been shooting in manual but limits any zooming so tried shooting in auto. Big mistake as that footage turned out fuzzy. Oh well salvaged enough to put together this video. Thanks to the crews and thank you for looking.
Western Relocates Kodak Building 9
Western moved a 3,000 tonne four story concrete building 55 m to a temporary location for new deeper foundations to be installed; steel frame below the building supported on 24 rollers was used. Once the new foundations were partially constructed, the building was moved back then lifted 1.4 meters and temporarily supported on custom steel cribbing.

Essex Terminal Railway MLW 0-6-0 #9 departs Elmira, Ontario, 18 February 2013 with a fan train
Assist provided by ex-CP Rail MLW yard diesel. Both locomotives (and a GE 70-tonner, coaches and caboose) belong to the Waterloo Central Railway, a tourist operation run by the Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society on an old branch line between Waterloo and St.Jacobs, Ontario. This special winter run took place on the Family Day provincial holiday, February 18, 2013, and extended beyond St.Jacobs to Elmira, where this footage was shot. I think it's the first time I had seen a steam locomotive operate in winter...and was it cold...
