La CP 4723(M636) évoque le glorieux passé ferroviaire de Farnham ainsi que la très belle épopée du CP jusqu'à ce que celui-ci vende cette gare et cette partie de son réseau au groupe Iron Road Railways qui détenait le groupe Bangor & Arrostook Railroad en 1995 et que celui-ci vende à la Montreal, Maine & Atlantic (MMA) en 2002 à cause qu'il avait fait faillite.
La compagnie Montreal Locomotive Works a construit 111 locomotives du modèle M636 entre les années 1969 et 1975. Elles développaient 3600 chevaux-vapeur (2700 kW). Celle-ci, le numéro de série M-6031-23 fut construite en 1970 et prit du service pour la CP Rail. Elle fut retirée de service en décembre 1993, remise en service en avril 1994 et retirée à nouveau du service en mai 1995. Donnée à la Ville de Farnham en 1995, elle fut repeinte aux couleurs Large Multimark de CP Rail et mise en exposition statique où elle est depuis.
