DAR1090
Dominion Atlantic Railway Steam Locomotive No. 1090, DeRazilly
No. 1090 was one of the first batch of four D10s to arrive in Nova Scotia, along with No. 1018, No. 1041 and No. 999, arriving in May 1937.[1] Along with No. 999, it had a semi-streamlined skirt under the cab had a Johnson bar reversing mechanism, instead of a power reverse. This made the locomotive somewhat unpopular with crews due to the physical demands of the Johnson bar.[2]The locomotive received several versions of DAR custom paint schemes and was assigned the name "DeRazilly" displayed for a few years by a brass name plate. No. 1090 served on the DAR until almost the end of steam, being sent away to Montreal for scrapping in 1954.
