CN 2747 is the Transcona Museum’s largest artifact. It was the first steam locomotive built in Western Canada and the first constructed at the CN Transcona Shops in April 1926. After being retired in 1960, CN 2747 was permanently displayed outdoors in Kiwanis Park, which is now known as Rotary Heritage Park.

The Transcona Museum acquired ownership of CN 2747 in late 2015 and is committed to the ongoing preservation of this historic steam locomotive.

The official opening of the CN 2747 Protective Enclosure took place on June 19, 2024. Visitors can view CN 2747 during our open-gate hours and at special events.

Faits amusants

  • Between 1926 and 1931, the Canadian National Railway built 33 steam locomotives at its Transcona Shops facility in the Western Region. CN 2747 was the first constructed and is the only one still in existence today.

 

  • Construction of CN 2747 took 27 days. The steam locomotive was completed on April 19, 1926. It made its inaugural run to Union Station in Winnipeg on April 20, 1926.

 

  • CN 2747 is the only surviving N-5-c class of 2-8-0 Consolidation type locomotive. The Canadian National Railway built only two of these steam locomotives: CN 2747 and CN 2748.

 

  • CN 2747 is one of 6 preserved Consolidation type steam locomotives of the Canadian National Railway family in Canada.

 

  • A « Transcona front end » is a distinctive cantilever bell hanger designed by the Transcona Shops around 1944. This modification relocated the bell above the headlight. There were 194 known « Transcona » modifications, but CN 2747 may be one of the few surviving examples.
