CNR 2-10-2 Number 4100 is one of the most<br />

interesting locomotives in the CRHA collection. The<br />

big T2s were built by <strong>Canadian</strong> Locomotive<br />

Company in 1924. They were designed for heavy,<br />

slow speed transfer selvice between freight yards in<br />

the Toronto area and gained fame as the locomotives<br />

with the greatest tractive eff0l1 in the British Empire.<br />

Later in their careers they selved as helper engines<br />

assisting through freights from Mimico Yard to<br />

Scarborough Junction. Number 4100 came to the<br />

CNRMontreal Terminals in the mid 1950' s where it<br />

was renumbered to 4190, she powered the lengthy oil<br />

batch transfers from Montreal's east end refineries<br />

to Turcot Yard. She was also a familiar sight as the<br />

motive power for the famous Barber-Greene snow<br />

melter until 1960. In this 1953 view in the CNR<br />
