The make and model of the locomotive was a June 1948 built Canadian Locomotive Company excursion train which was leased to the production from a steam train museum, the Steamtown Foundation, in Vermont in the New England region of the United States. The train was painted black with silver stripes for the film, along with its five Steamtown cars which were used with the engine. Director Roger Spottiswoode has said of the transport of the train cars from Vermont to Montreal for the production: "They were driven up on the rails. The train cars were put together and they got a pass and sent them up. I think we had five weeks prep time and it took us about two weeks to find those trains and select the carriages and get permission. The train took about three or four days to get to us. It's not very far but it had to get through customs... this and that. As I remember, there was a crew working on it as it traveled to Montreal."
