Grand Trunk Western 4070 is a preserved Light Mikado steam locomotive that had an excursion career in the 70's and 80's. During that time, she would suffer several setbacks until finally being withdrawn for an intensive rebuild. Work on her is still ongoing.

"Grand Trunk Western No. 4070 is an S-3-a class 2-8-2 USRA Light Mikado steam locomotive, and it was originally built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in December 1918 for the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) as No. 474. It was later re-numbered to 3734 by the Grand Trunk Western (GTW), after the GTR was absorbed into Canadian National (CN). In the late 1950s, the locomotive received a larger tender from an S-3-c class locomotive, and it was further re-numbered to 4070."
