Canadian National 3377 is a preserved 2-8-2 steam locomotive at the Steamtown National Historic Site.

After being retired, the locomotive was sold to the Edaville Railroad in September 1961, and then became part of Steamtown in 1969.[1] It has been cannibalized for parts for Steamtown's operating Canadian National 2-8-2, the 3254. Even the pilot wheels and trailing truck were removed, making it an oversized 0-8-0.[2] The locomotive sits on display south of the Steamtown shops.
