Current priorities include the creation of 3 new trails and improvements to existing trails in the Conservation Area, as well as the restoration of Locomotive #103.
TH&B Locomotive #103
The Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo #103 locomotive was built in 1910 in Montreal. This Class “G” consolidated type steam locomotive is one of only two of its kind to be preserved. It was retired and moved in 1956 and placed in Gage Park in Hamilton. It was again moved to Westfield in 1977 to join the Jerseyville station, section tool house and caboose.Volunteers have provided much needed repair and restoration over the years. The locomotive tender, however, is deteriorating from exposure to the elements and its restoration is a big project that requires specialized equipment and facilities. Left to rust, the tender would eventually fall apart and collapse. The engine also needs some repair and a new paint job.With your support, we can breathe new life into this iconic treasure and enhance the overall visitor experience at Westfield.
