Located across from Toronto's CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, the sign accompanying this engine reads:

"4803 is a GP-7 built by General Motors Diesel of London,
Ontario in 1953. GP stands for general purpose, meaning this
locomotive could be used in a wide variety of freight
operations that included switching cars and mainline freight
train operation as well as powering passenger trains when
equipped with a steam generator. Over 7,000 locomotives
similar to this were found in North America and this
unit operated over most of Canada. 4803 was retired in 1984
and donated to the City by CN to commemorate Toronto's
150th anniversary."
