Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 6227.
Built by the Canadian Pacific's Angus Shops in September of 1911. It was acquired by the DAR in 1939, replacing the older 0-6-0 No. 6189. Listed as a D.A.R. unit in both 1941 (1) and 1947 (2), it served until the end of steam when it was scrapped in February 1957. Never given an official name by the DAR, it was nicknamed "the Old Goat" by train crews.(3)
