Previous note should read 1533 at New Hope & Ivyland not 1355.

On August 20th #1531 was moved to the Simcoe County Museum in Midhurst, Ontario. Over the next two years the museum will be restoring the locomotive (which was in very poor condition in the park) as a static display.

This loco was actually renumbered to 1531 from 1322 in March 1958 not in 1956. Thats what the book "Steam At Allandale" says. Once this is fixed you can delete this note.

I was wrong on my previous post, the roundhouse foundation is not there anymore.

It used to be part of the allandale division in the 1950s. This is the only locomotive left from the allandale division which is actually still in it's home division. All others are in the US. This loco is actually about 500 meters away from the roundhouse it used to be ine 50 years ago. The roundhouse doesn't exist anymore but the foundation is still there.
