Scrap Yard

“The Scrap Yard”
Old Steam Locomotives, Diesels,
Rolling Stock and Street Cars of Canada
 

Please note that we are trying to show only old diesels
that were produced prior to 1990

It’s the end of the line for these Locomotives and rolling stock


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.
