![]() | Locomotive 74 was one of only three built for the Alberta Government Railways by the Canadian Locomotive Co and numbered 72, 73 and 74. They were assigned to the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway (ED&BC) which became the NAR in 1929. All three operated in freight and passenger service and were converted to oil in 1952. After being replaced by GMD-1 and other diesels in 1960, all 3 locomotives were sold for scrap to Premier Steel in Edmonton. NAR 73 was saved from the scrapper’s torch with parts from #72 and #74; after which the 73 was donated to the Alberta Pioneer Railway Association (APRA) near Edmonton, who operated it for a time at their museum; the only NAR steam locomotive still in existence, while the #72 and #74 was scrapped. |
