Boston and Maine 3713, also known as the "Constitution", is the sole survivor of the "P-4a" class 4-6-2 "Heavy Pacific" type steam locomotives. It was built in December 1934 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Boston and Maine Railroad, hauling passenger trains around the New England region. In 1956, No. 3713 was given the duty to haul B&M's Farewell to Steam excursion between Boston, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine, marking the end of steam operations on the B&M.
Afterwards, the locomotive was purchased by New England millionaire F. Nelson Blount for his Steamtown, U.S.A. collection. After Blount died in 1967, No. 3713 was loaned to the Boston Museum of Science for static display. In 1985, No. 3713 was returned to Steamtown, which had moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania, one year prior.
When Steamtown was nationalized as Steamtown National Historic Site, work began in 1995 to restore No. 3713 to operating condition for use in pulling excursion trains. It was the focus of Project 3713, a partnership between the National Park Service and the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society. As of 2024, restoration work on the No. 3713 locomotive is still ongoing.
