Grand Trunk Western 5632 is a class K-4b 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in November of 1929 for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad.

History

Grand Trunk Western 5632 was constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Eddystone, Pennsylvania in November of 1929 and it was delivered to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in 1930 along with its sister locomotives 5633 and 5634. 5632 was the first member of the class K-4b being numbered 5632-5634.

5632 had served well on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad until being retired from active service in 1958 when the GTW began to dieselize their lines. 5632 was later donated to the city of Durand, Michigan in October 1960. where it was placed on static display and it has remained on display at the city of Durand, Michigan ever since. Not only does 5632 remain the only surviving member of the class K-4b, as well as the only surviving copy of the USRA Light Pacific locomotives after its sister Grand Trunk Western class K-4a #5629 was scrapped in July of 1987.
