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 was later moved to Bellows Falls, Vermont and became part of the Steamtown, U.S.A. collection 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.
