Manufacturers Railroad 1

This diminutive steeplecab is part of the collection of the Museum of Transportation near St. Louis. It is the first electric locomotive ever built by General Electric, in 1893; it was rebuilt in 1901 and worked for the Manufacturers Railroad in Connecticut until 1948. It was displayed by GE at Erie from 1948 until 1964, when it was acquired by MOT.
