Type: 0-4-0T
Steam Locomotive |
|
Built: April 1941 |
Builder's
Number: 4309 |
|
Notes: This Steam locomotive carries its fuel and water supplies on
board, not in a separate tender. Most of this type of
locomotive were used in industrial or railroad switching service due
to their small size. See
www.engine17.org for more info on # 17. |

Type:
80 Ton diesel |
|
Built: March 1945 |
Builder's
Number: 27994 |
|
Notes: Typical of the
Diesel-Electric locomotives sold to small railroads and industries
across North America. This GE 80 tonner is an example of a
very successful locomotive family. Never a candidate for most
beautiful locomotive, nor the fastest, these GE center-cabs were
popular due to their rugged construction and pure utilitarian
design. |

Type:
80 Ton diesel |
|
Built: March 1953 |
Builder's
Number: 31818 |
|
Notes: Except for
having been built eight years apart, 1686 is virtually identical to
locomotive 71. The longevity and success of this locomotive
design owes to the fact that it was both practical and flexible. |

the NHVRy locomotives, it has only one powered axle(traction motor),
and uses a chain-drive to transmit power to the other axle. |
