Toronto Railway Heritage Centre #1, now part of the Toronto Railway Museum collection.
The engine is a 50 ton Whitcomb centre-cab diesel switcher built in 1950 by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston, ON. It spent the bulk of its career shunting cars at various quarries and aggregate pits in Ontario. It was acquired in 2007 by the museum to carry out switching and shunting duties around the museum grounds. It is powerful enough to shunt CNR 6213, yet small enough to use the roundhouse.
