Viewing Album:  1910 Electric Shunt Locomotive
 
By:James Buchkovich
Dates:7/21/2012 - 7/21/2012
Album Info:This electric shunt locomotive is located at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, PA. Information provided by the museum/Lake Shore Railway Historical Society indicates that the locomotive was built in 1910 by the Atlas Car Company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was last operated by the Erie Dock Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). The locomotive was an all-electric small gauge (third rail) ore/coal car shunt used in conjunction with Hulett ship unloaders. Side arms on both sides of the shunt deployed to push freight cars on parallel standard gauge track. The weight of the shunt was considerably less than that of the loaded hopper cars it was pushing which resulted in frequent derailments of the shunt. Ore Shunt 7 operated on the Erie, PA ore/coal docks until the mid-1950's; then at Whiskey Island, Cleveland, Ohio until 1992. The Cleveland Port Authority donated Ore Shunt 7 to the Lake Shore Railway Museum in January 2000 and it was moved to the museum by a lowboy trailer in May 2000.
