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. Interpretive panels and interactive QR codes offer additional information about the history of CN 2747, its preservation, and other related topics.
The Protective Enclosure has received two awards: the 2024 Award of Excellence from the Association of Manitoba Museums (AMM) and the 2025 Distinguished Service Award from Heritage Winnipeg.
CN 2747 is a historic steam locomotive located in the Transcona community of Winnipeg.
