Built by Montreal Locomotive Works Build #68540
Class K-5-A Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive
This locomotive is now a disply within the Elgin County Railroad Museum in St Thomas Ontario, numbered 5700. The real 5700 was the one that was to have been preserved, but the word to preserve it arrived after scrapping was well under way. 5703 was renumbered to 5700 as the last of the CNR K5's
