LNER Class A4 4489 Dominion of Canada

Dominion of Canada is an LNER Class A4 steam locomotive, a 4-6-2 built to the same Sir Nigel Gresley design as Mallard. It was built at Doncaster Works in May 1937 as works number 1854. It was meant to be named Buzzard and briefly carried the name Woodcock, before being named Dominion of Canada by the High Commissioner of Canada, H. Vincent Massey, on 15 June 1937, when it was fitted with a Canadian Pacific Railway whistle and bell. In 1937 it was used in an attempt to take back the speed record held by the LMS Coronation Scot, and reached 109.5 mph down Stoke Bank. It was numbered 4489, then 10 in 1946 and 60010 under British Railways, and was renumbered 4489 after a cosmetic restoration at the National Railway Museum in 2012 and 2013.
