GRAND TRUNK AND WESTERN NO. 6328

In this photograph No. 6328, a mighty 1-8-4 on the Grand Trunk Western, is stopping to take water at Pontiac, Michigan, early one evening in 1958. At that time, most of America's railroad mileage was already operated by diesel-electric locomotives, but the G.T.W., the American subsidiary of Canadian National Railways, continued to wheel tonnage with steam engines. The G.T.W. was even pulling smoke-plumed commuter trains daily in and out of Detroit, right past the headquarters of General Motors, builder of most diesel engines. In fact, the "Trunk" seemed to be so firmly committed to steam in those Days that it occas-ionally borrowed coalburners from the Illinois Central and Burlington roads to keep its freight and passenger trains rolling. In 1960 it finally joined the diesel parade.
