Grand Trunk Western 5632 is a class K-4b 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in November 1929 for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad.[1][2][3]

History

Grand Trunk Western 5632 was constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Eddystone, Pennsylvania in November 1929[4][5] and it was delivered to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in 1930 along with its sister locomotives 5633 and 5634.[1][5]

#5632 was the first member of the class K-4b locomotives being numbered 5632-5634.[6]

5632 had served well on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad until being retired from active service in 1958 when the GTW began to dieselize their lines.[7] #5632 was later donated to the city of Durand, Michigan in October 1960,[8] where it was placed on static display and it has remained on display at the city of Durand, Michigan ever since.[9][10]

Not only does 5632 remain the only surviving member of the class K-4b, as well as the only surviving copy of the USRA Light Pacific locomotives after its sister Grand Trunk Western class K-4a #5629 was scrapped in July 1987.[11]
