Comments on: Second 44, second career. Built in September 1917 by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston as TH&B 48, the little B-2-s class 0-6-0 would be renumbered in 1947 to TH&B 44 (first 44 renumbered 42). The locomotive would be retired in January 1955 and sold to Stelco, eventually being scrapped at an unknown date. The engine appears to be working around the Stelco-owned Hamilton By-Product Coke Oven Company facility.Many thanks to John Spring for information on the locomotive and location.Doug Page Photo, Bruce Acheson Collection Slide. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
