Engine 1095: 'The Spirit of John A.'

Fun Facts: Engine 1095, known as The Spirit of Sir John A. has been a favourite photo back-drop for tourists visiting Kingston's Confederation Park for more than 40 years. It is a reminder that the Tourist Offices' was the K&P Railway station for more than 75 years — and that Kingston was home for 114 years to the Canadian Locomotive Company. That company built more than 3000 steam, electric and diesel engines. The Spirit of Sir John A. was one of 25 such models built for the Canadian Pacific.
