No date or location. This engine was built at the Pt. St. Charles shops in Montreal, which are still standing, but empty. It was assigned to the Grand Trunk New England Lines and powered the CN museum train for a time in the 1950s. After display at Ottawa for a number of years, it is now at Delson, Quebec.

Is this the same class Mogul as 89, 91, 92, etc.?

The CN 2-6-0s 80-96 (all renumbered in the 1950s) were class E-10-a, built in Kingston, 1910. 713 is a much older E-7-a, built by Grand Trunk themselves in 1900.

This info can be readily traced in Anthony Clegg and Roy Corley’s “Canadian National Steam Power” published in 1969.
