60010 Dominion of Canada is an LNER Class A4 steam locomotive.
Built for the LNER in 1937, it was originally numbered 4489. It was renumbered 10 under the LNER 1946 renumbering scheme and after nationalisation in 1948 BR added 60000 to its number so it became 60010. It is a 4-6-2 locomotive to the same design by Sir Nigel Gresley as the more famous Mallard.
It is now preserved at the Canadian Railway Museum.
