Canadian National Railways 6060, Steam locomotive in Stettler, Canada
Canadian National Railways 6060 is a 4-8-2 Mountain-type steam locomotive stationed in Stettler, Alberta, and was maintained by the Rocky Mountain Rail Society. It participated in excursion trips and was displayed alongside other historical railway equipment at the Alberta Prairie Railway location.
This engine was built in 1944 by Montreal Locomotive Works and transported passengers and freight until being retired in 1959. Its withdrawal from commercial service marked the end of its working life with the railway company.
The locomotive reflects how women worked in manufacturing during World War II while men served in the military. Their contributions were essential to wartime production and remain part of this site's story.
The site is accessible during the operating season when excursion trips run regularly, allowing visitors to view the locomotive and other historical equipment. Check conditions beforehand, as weather and seasonal offerings may affect your visit experience.
An engineer named Harry Home purchased this locomotive for one dollar in 1962 and saved it from being scrapped. His dedication shows how personal commitment can rescue historical railway equipment.
