I just came back from Richmond Hills Ontario where I found a small saddle tank steam engine in the front yard of a building moving company. It was next to a CN line (I believe Falstaf - please correct me if I am wrong). Does anyone know anything about this engine?

The locomotive you saw is an 0-4-0T built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1937. The company storing it is Charles Matthews Ltd. of 99 Langstaff Rd. in Thornhill Ontario which also has a few other old railroad pieces on site. As far as I know this loco was only ever used as an industrial switcher.

i found that locomotive too , years ago if we are talking the same area. windows were boarded over. i asked a long time ago and no one seemed to know about it. I think when i saw it was at a heavy equipment moving company on rails and stuff.
wonder if it is the same locomotive. I have pictures but do not any more information.
i have not been back there since 1995, so my details are shaky.
