No. 5632 is one of three K-4b class of 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotives built to operate a dedicated Detroit - Chicago passenger service for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (GTW). This innovative service was stymied by the Wall Street crash of 1929 and these engines went into regular service. These three vestibuled-cabbed locos were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) in October 1929.

No. 5632 worked into the 1950s and was donated to the City of Durand, MI, in 1961. It is now on static display near Durand City Hall on the old Ann Arbor Railroad right of way line.
