Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 999, Fronsac.
Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in September of 1912. This D10h ten wheeler had semi-streamlining skirts under the running boards and cab.
It arrived on the DAR in 1937, one of the first batch of D10s and was painted in DAR's Land of Evangeline paint scheme in 1938. It is listed as a D.A.R. unit in both 1941 (1) and 1947 (2). Repainted with CPR lettering during World War II, it was painted again with the Evangeline herald about 1950.
This locomotive is at the Expo Rail museum in Delson, Quebec and is the only surviving DAR locomotive, though she currently resides in building 6 which is off limits to the viewing public. Currently Expo Rail doesn't have the funds to restore her so she can go back on display for the public to enjoy (3).
