Canadian Pacific 374

Because of its historical significance, it was donated upon its retirement to the City of Vancouver, which placed it on display in Kitsilano Beach Park.

It was moved from the beach and spent the next few years in different warehouses around Vancouver while a crew of volunteers undertook the task of restoring the engine.

Successful fundraising efforts were undertaken by the Vancouver Park Board and the Lions Club, among others, and a year later the new Engine 374 Pavilion was completed.

[3] Now a central feature of the Yaletown area redevelopment, the Engine 374 Pavilion is open daily for public viewing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the summer and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the winter.

The pavilion is staffed entirely by volunteers from the West Coast Railway Association and on average sees roughly 41,000 visitors per year as of 2015.
