No.4489 entered service in the LNER Garter Blue livery but differed from the other A4s as it wore the Canadian Coat of Arms on the cab side. ‘Dominion of Canada’ was withdrawn from service at the Darlington shed on 29th May 1965 after serving over twenty-eight years on the railways of Britain. It was listed for scrap, but after sitting derelict, the locomotive was donated by British Railways to the Canadian Railroad Historical Association and has been preserved and stored at the Canadian Railway Museum, Saint-Constant in Quebec since May 1966. In 2012 ‘Dominion of Canada’ was shipped from Canada to the National Railway Museum in York where it has been re-painted in its original LNER Garter Blue livery in readiness to join its remaining A4 Classmates for the ‘Mallard 75 – A4 Gathering’ event.
