===Canada=== [[File:3716 at Canyon View.jpg|thumb|CP N-2-c no. 3716 at Canyon View]] The [[Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 N-2-a, b, and c|Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) N-2-a, b, and c class]] locomotives were a class of altogether 182 ''Consolidation'' type locomotives, built by Montreal Locomotive Works between 1912 and 1914. They were numbered in the range from 3600 to 3799 and were used almost everywhere around the system. The order for these engines came about when CP needed bigger locomotives for their mainline since their current engines were wearing out and were too small for the loads that were being hauled. Most of the class were converted to oil-firing in later years.<ref>{{cite book| last=Lavallée| first=Omer| title=Canadian Pacific Railway Diagrams and Data: Steam Locomotives| edition=2nd| volume=1| location=West Hill, Ont.| publisher=Railfare Enterprises| year=1985| pages=45–46}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last1=Doeksen| first1=Corwin| first2=Gerry| last2=Doeksen| title=Railways of the West Kootenay| volume=1| location=Montrose, B.C.| publisher=Doeksen| year=1991| page=56}}</ref> One of the locomotives, No. 3716, is run and maintained in Summerland, [[British Columbia|BC]] as part of the [[Kettle Valley Steam Railway]].<ref>[http://kettlevalleymodelrailway.blogspot.ca/2014/06/kettle-valley-consolidations-part-2.html Kettle Valley Model Railway - Kettle Valley Consolidations Part 2] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002162037/http://kettlevalleymodelrailway.blogspot.ca/2014/06/kettle-valley-consolidations-part-2.html |date=2016-10-02 }} (Accessed on 22 October 2016)</ref><ref>[http://kettlevalleymodelrailway.blogspot.co.za/2014/06/kettle-valley-consolidations-part-3.html Kettle Valley Model Railway - Kettle Valley Consolidations Part 3] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022220207/http://kettlevalleymodelrailway.blogspot.co.za/2014/06/kettle-valley-consolidations-part-3.html |date=2016-10-22 }} (Accessed on 22 October 2016)</ref>
