It's the only one that I've ever seen with a feedwater heater, but from what I can tell, the engine wasn't built with it but by the time it arrived in Iroquois Falls in 1947, it had one. The engine is still on display in a park in Iroquois Falls.

Everyone needs a "Heritage Unit", had to stop route building long enough to do my engine.

Ontario Northloand 701 is a Pacific built in 1921 by Kingston Locomotive Works fifty miles away from me. 701 was the last steam engine on a regular run on June 25, 1957, The engine is preserved and on display at Englehart Ontario.

Some unusual AI traffic from the other side of Fredrick House Lake at Barber's Bay. 1947 Bombadier Snow Machines that ride on tracks under the lake. Might just have to make a boat for when the ice thaws.
