This locomotive was built as Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive No. 927, renumbered as CPR No. 501 in 1908.[1] It was transferred to the DAR in August 1919 and became DAR No. 41, "Devonshire" - named after the Canadian Governor General of the day. It was renamed "Grandfontaine" by 1934 and retained its DAR number until it was scrapped in March 1940.

- Duke of Devonshire, Governor General of Canada 1916-1920.
- Hubert d'Andigny Chevalier de Grandfontaine, French Governor of Acadia from 1960-1673, the same name later used by DAR No. 538.
