(Translated) Kingston locomotive, there is a farmers market nearby. Tourists must want to know if there are any restrooms nearby. Yes, just below the gift shop about 200 meters away is a public toilet. Regarding the locomotive, the following is the official introduction: · Introduction The 1095 engine has provided favorite photos for residents and tourists who have visited Federal Park for more than 40 years. It is worth mentioning that Commonwealth Park used to be an active train station, the Visitor Information Center used to be Kingston and Pembroke railway stations, Kingston used to be the headquarters of the Canadian Locomotive Company, with a history of more than 100 years. The company has manufactured more than 3,000 steam, electric and diesel engines for the Canadian Pacific Railway, including 1095 engines. · historical meaning The existence of the Kingston 1095 engine is vitally connected to the city’s industrial history, which was previously built by the Canadian Locomotive Co. (CLC) on the waterfront of Kingston. For more than a century, CLC has been the main supplier of CPR locomotives, delivering nearly one-third of its fleet in the past few decades, making it the second largest commercial builder in Canada at the time. The engine 1095 made its debut in 1913 and was put into service in Winnipeg and southern Ontario, and then completed its service life in Montreal in 1960. As a symbol of technology and industry in the 19th century, the continued existence of the engine 1095 shows its significance. A period in the history of Kingston and Canada required its preservation and maintenance. By positioning Kingston as an important industrial and political hub, it also helps illustrate important aspects of Kingston’s history. · Give new life to the 1095 engine The 1095 engine was fully restored in 2013 after 100 years of first production. The project was initiated by a group of dedicated volunteers in 2007 and was called the "1095 Recovery Volunteer Group". At that time, they submitted the survey results and suggested questionnaire to the Kingston City Council, expressing concern about the deterioration of the engine 1095. They conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the locomotive, and put forward recommendations for the restoration of the locomotive and the action plan to be taken. The initial request, coupled with further research and investigation by the listed government staff, led the city council to decide to continue the repair work of the locomotive. The locomotive began in 2011 and was completed in 2013 to coincide with the centennial of the locomotive. (Original) 金士顿火车头，附近有农贸市场。 旅游的人肯定想知道附近有没有洗手间。有的，就在200米左右的礼物店下面，是公共卫生间。 关于火车头，以下是官方介绍： · 简介 1095引擎为40多年来访问联邦公园的居民和游客提供了最喜欢的照片。 值得一提的是，联邦公园曾经是活跃的火车场，游客信息中心曾经是金斯敦和彭布罗克火车站，金斯敦曾经是加拿大机车公司的总部，已有100多年的历史。该公司为加拿大太平洋铁路制造了3000多台蒸汽，电动和柴油发动机，其中包括1095发动机。 · 历史意义 金士顿（Kingston）1095发动机的存在与该市的工业历史有着至关重要的联系，该工业历史由以前位于金斯敦（Kingston）海滨的加拿大机车有限公司（CLC）建造。在一个多世纪的时间里，CLC一直是CPR机车的主要供应商，在过去的几十年中交付了近三分之一的机队，并使其成为当时加拿大的第二大商业建造商。 发动机1095于1913年首次首次亮相，并在温尼伯和安大略省南部投入使用，然后于1960年在蒙特利尔完成其使用寿命。作为19世纪技术和工业的象征，发动机1095的持续存在表明了重要的意义。金斯敦（Kingston）和加拿大历史上的一段时期，要求对其进行保存和维护。通过将金斯敦定位为重要的工业和政治枢纽，也有助于说明金斯敦历史的重要方面。 · 赋予1095引擎新生命 1095引擎在首次制造100年后于2013年完全恢复。该项目于2007年由一群敬业的志愿者发起，被称为“ 1095年恢复志愿者小组”。当时，他们向金斯敦市议会提交了调查结果和建议的调查表，对发动机1095的恶化状况表示担忧。他们对机车进行了全面评估，并提出了恢复机车的建议以及采取的行动方案。最初的请求，再加上市政府工作人员的进一步研究和调查，导致市议会决定继续进行机车的修复工作，该机务从2011年开始，并于2013年完成，以配合机车百年纪念。

This train doesent even start up! What a terrible piece of craftsmanship... the boys back at the rail yard would laugh at this coal driven mockery. If you want my review to be higher than you must accept my challenge. And I Challenge Ye to a Train Race! If you can defeat my Glörgətrun3000 with your laughable locomotive than I shall change my rating to 5 stars. Your move.

(Translated) For more than 40 years, the Engine 1095 has been a popular photo motif with deeper meaning for Kingston. Locomotives were built by the Canadian Locomotive Company Ltd. Built in Kingston for over 100 years. A delight for every railroad fan, of course. (Original) Seit über 40 Jahren ist die Engine 1095 ein beliebtes Fotomotiv mit tieferer Bedeutung für Kingston. Lokomotiven wurden von der Canadian Locomotive Company Ltd. über 100 Jahre in Kingston gebaut. Natürlich ein Hochgenuss für jeden Eisenbahnfan.

Very decent lakeshore park.

Engine 1095 is a very cool looking and large train engine in front of City Hall by the waterfront. I'm not sure why this landmark shouldn't get a 5 star rating. This is a great site for young children; My daughter enjoyed it very much.

Corey W

Kingston's waterfront is so beautiful in the summer. This engine is so well maintained and you can tell they really take pride in its historical significance. I grew up in Kingston but moved to Toronto and I never get tired of visiting.
