In 1925, the Grand Trunk Western Railway purchased five 4-8-2 Mountain locomotives, numbered 6037 through 6041, from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. These coal-burning locomotives had cylinder-shaped Vanderbilt tenders and enclosed all-weather cabs.

The Grand Trunk Western Railway, controlled by Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, owned track in Michigan and Illinois and provided commuter service to Detroit. In the 1950s, the Grand Trunk leased this engine to the Central Vermont Railway. It was one of the last steam locomotives employed in common carrier service in that state.
