No. 5632 was one of three K-4-b class 4-6-2's (Nos. 5632-5634) constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of ] in November 1929, and it was delivered to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (GTW) in 1930.<ref>{{Harvp|Kean|1973|p=96}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Harvp|Edwin|1976|p=29}}</ref><ref>{{Harvp|Kean|1973|p=96}}</ref> The K-4-b locomotives were copies of the ]'s (USRA) ] design, and they were follow-ups to the GTW's K-4-a class (Nos. 5627-5631).<ref name=":142">{{Cite book |last=Pinkepank |first=Jerry |title=Grand Trunk Western in Color - Vol 1: Steam & Green, 1941-1961 |date=2003 |publisher=Morning Sun Books, Inc. |isbn=1-58248-112-1 |location=] |page= |pages=64; 67}}</ref> |

The only difference from the USRA design is that the K-4-b class was equipped with an all-weather vestibule cab and an enclosed coffin feedwater heater.<ref name=":142" /> The GTW ordered the K-4-b's from Baldwin to use them for their sleeper trains—the ''Chicago Express'' and the ''Detroit Express''—between ], ] and ], ], in competition with the ] (MC), but both trains were quickly discontinued, due to challenges from the ].<ref name=":142" /> |

No. 5632 was subsequently reassigned to pull regular passenger trains between Chicago, Detroit, and ] alongside the K-4-a's.<ref name=":142" /> After the GTW received new U-3-b class ] locomotives in 1942, No. 5632 was reassigned again to pull commuter trains between Detroit and ].<ref name=":142" /><ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Olds |first=Fred |date=May 18, 1961 |title=Old 5632 to Be Dedicated As Steam Era Memorial |work=Lansing State Journal |page=36 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> The locomotive last operated for the GTW in June 1958 before it was put into storage.<ref name=":0" /> |
