what is it?
Canadian National Railway (CN) Class E-7 was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotives. These locomotives were built for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) from 1898 through 1908. Some of the class had been built as compound locomotives with 200 psi (1.4 MPa) boilers feeding 22.5-inch (570 mm) and 35-by-26-inch (890 mm × 660 mm) cylinders; but all save one had been rebuilt as simple single-expansion locomotives beginning in 1911.
