The Canadian National class K-5-a was a class of five steam locomotives built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) for the Canadian National Railway.

Preservation

Out of the five locomotives built, only two locomotives are in preservation:

#5702 - On static display at the Canadian Railroad Historical Association in Delson, Quebec.
#5703 - On static display at the Elgin County Railway Museum in St. Thomas, Ontario as #5700.

There was a plan to preserve the first member of the class, no. 5700, but due to issues with communication, 5700 was scrapped.
