Description
TH&B 1910-1928
A Class G "Consolidated" 2-8-0 built in 1910 by Montreal Locomotive Works and originally numbered TH&B #52. Serial number 48837. It was renumbered to TH&B #72 and finally TH&B #103. It was retired in 1956 and put on display in Gage Park in Hamilton, ON. until it was purchased for $1.00 by the Westfield Heritage Village.
In keeping with its needs for expansion, the TH&B railway invested in a number of new engines. By 1920, the railway had completely replaced all of its original steam engines with newer and more powerful engines capable of keeping up with the company�s high volume passenger and freight demands. The 103, with its 55 inch driving wheels had the power and the traction to haul loads up the steep Niagara Escarpment grades at both ends of the TH&B line.
