Canadian Pacific No. 3716

Canadian Pacific No. 3716 is a class N-2-b 2-8-0 built in 1912 in Montreal Locomotive Works for the Canadian Pacific railroad.
It worked for many years in the Kootenays and put in many miles in the Crowsnest area of southern British Columbia and Alberta in the early-mid 1900s. Once it was time to retire the #3716 was sent to the City of Port Coquitlam in 1966, being saved from the scrapper's torch.
At this time the #3176 was in need of some repairs and was restored in 1975 at CPR's Drake Street shops.
Today it's at the Kettle Valley Railway Society where it operates today, and the iconic #3716 is enjoyed by visitors from around the world.
