There is a pretty good writeup about this specific locomotive at (visit link)

Quote from the above link:
"No. 6213 was retired from active duty in 1959 and sat on the scrap line for several months, during which she was cannibalized for parts. She was selected for preservation because she was typical of the last steam locomotives used in regular passenger service in the Toronto area. CN workers then replaced the missing parts from other locomotives sitting on the scrap line. In 1960, Canadian National Railways presented No. 6213 to the City of Toronto. She was moved to the Exhibition Grounds by laying temporary track from the railway corridor to its present location adjacent to the old Stanley Barracks. "

The locomotive sits on display beside the Stanley Barracks at the CNE grounds. Parking is everywhere - the exhibit is surrounded by (pay) parking lots.
