Canadian National No. 6401

Canadian National No. 6401 was one of five class U-4-a 4-8-4 "Northern" type streamlined steam locomotives built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1936 for the Canadian National Railway.
The Canadian National Railway used this locomotive for crack passenger service for much of its working career.
It was retired from active service in November 1961 and was sold for scrap later that same year.
== Trivia ==
* The locomotive appeared on a British Movietone News video called Canada's Tribute To Railway Service. It was seen pulling a train from Montreal to Chicago.
* 6401 has an unknown whistle at the beginning and the unknown whistle has been said is that the only sound that came out of the whistle was a toneless, deafening shriek as heard in Canada's Tribute To Railway Service. Later, it would be fitted with a 5 or a 6 chime.
