No. 33 was the last locomotive built for the Dominion Atlantic. It was built in 1907 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia for the DAR and was identical to her sister No. 32 "Blomidon". No. 33 was damaged in a serious wreck near Hantsport in 1919.[2] After the CPR takeover which brought larger ten wheelers to the DAR, No. 33 and 32 were frequently used on the Kentville-Kingsport run pulling the School Trains.[3] No. 33 was put into storage in 1933 and scrapped in late October 1938[4][5]
Name Origin: Heroic spirtual figure of Nova Scotia's Mi'kmaq people
