Built in 1906 by the Canadian Locomotive Company in Kingston, Ontario for the Intercolonial Railway of Canada, later a part of the CNR, that linked the Maritimes with Montreal it is the oldest steam locomotive.

On January 15, 1953, CNR sold the little, 7260 for $3,500 to the Intercolonial Coal Company to work at their colliery in Westville, Nova Scotia. It ran there until about 1962.

The Dorking Greystone Lime Company's first diesel locomotive, Orenstein & Koppel No. 7269 Monty, was imported from Germany in 1936.
Retired in 1959, it is preserved at the Amberley Museum in Sussex, England. I think it is the only 3'2.25" (972mm) gauge diesel locomotive I have seen so far, though I am not sure if others are preserved elsewhere.
