Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 13 "Gabriel"
It was built by Kingston Locomotive Works at Kingston, Ontario in December 1866:
- Builder No. 53.
- 16" x 22" cylinders
- 66" drivers.
The first owner was the Nova Scotia Railway and it began its career as NSR No. 22. In 1874, the Nova Scotia Railway became part of the Intercolonial Railway of Canada and the locomotive became ICR No. 22.
No. 21 was rebuilt by Portland Works with 12 x 24" cylinders in 1875 and traded to the Windsor & Annapolis Railway where it became W&A No. 2 "Gabriel", part of a swap of nine standard gauge ICR locomotives for nine broad gauge W&A locomotives in a government plan to standardize gauges.(1)
The Windsor and Annapolis sold the locomotive to the New Brunswick Railway in 1881 where it became NBR No. 9. Canadian Pacific bought the New Brunswick Railway in 1890 and is believed to have renumbered the locomotive as CPR 488. It was sold to the DAR in 1895 and became DAR No. 14 "Evangeline". It was scrapped by October 1911.(2)
