Dominion Of Canada 4489

            
LNER A4 Class No.4489 was outshopped on the 24th May 1937 from the Doncaster works and was originally to be named as ‘Buzzard’ then ‘Woodcock’. It was instead named ‘Dominion of Canada’ alongside other A4 Class locomotives named after British Commonwealth countries of the time.

No.4489 entered service in the LNER Garter Blue livery but differed from the other A4s as it wore the Canadian Coat of Arms on the cab side. ‘Dominion of Canada’ was withdrawn from service at the Darlington shed on 29th May 1965 after serving over twenty-eight years on the railways of Britain. It was listed for scrap, but after sitting derelict, the locomotive was donated by British Railways to the Canadian Railroad Historical Association and has been preserved and stored at the Canadian Railway Museum, Saint-Constant in Quebec since May 1966.
