Comment
The Scotia was the 1st Canadian locomotive to be built with a steel boiler.Built in 1861 at the Hamilton shops of the Great Western Railway Company (GWR), the Scotia was designed by Richard Eaton, GWR's Locomotive Superintendent who had spent several years developing an engine that could replace wood with a more efficient fuel - coal.
