La Cie. Québec North Shore Paper (QNS) a utilisé ce type de locomotive pour le transport de papier à partir de l'usine de papier à leur quai. Maintenant le locomotive est un favori pour visiteurs et surtout les enfants. Fait cocasse, le chemin de fer ou le locomotive à passé sa vie utile est seulement 2 kms. de long.
The Québec North shore used this type on locomotive to carry rolls of newsprint from the mill to the wharf. This type locomotive is lovingly referred to as "puffer belly", for obvious reasons. Today it is on display in a park in Baie-comeau, Qc. and is a favorite with visitors and mostly children.
Funny fact. The railroad that this train worked on all of its working life is only 2 kms in length.
