Summary[edit]

Description
English: Canadian National class K-3 4-6-2 steam locomotive #5588 "Spirit of Windsor" on display in Windsor Ontario, with the Detroit River and Detroit in the background.

Plaque in front of the locomotive reads: "Spirit of Windsor Engine 5588 This Pacific Type 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive is dedicated to the memory of the glorious Steam Era in Canadian Railroading and to the Citizens of Windsor. No. 5588 was built in the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1911 for the Canadian National Railways and saw many years of fast freight and passenger service in Southern Ontario before being retired in 1961. In 1962 the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario (Windsor) launched a public campaign to save old 5588 from the scrap heap and to bring it to Windsor for the edification of our and future generations. Christened the "Spirit of Windsor", No. 5588

was dedicated to the community on May 6, 1963."
