The Lake Shore Railway Museum and Historical Society has added a 10th General Electric-built vintage locomotive to its collection.
The latest addition to the collection in North East, Pennsylvania, is a 45-tonner originally used by the U.S. Army.
No. 10 was built by GE in 1943 and had been sitting at ELG Metals southeast of Pittsburgh.
The company agreed to donate the locomotive to the museum with Wabtec, which now owns the GE locomotive assembly plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, providing technical assistance on how to move the diesel.
The move was handled by Daily Express of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
The Lakeshore museum plans to restore No. 10 to operating condition.
The vintage GE engines are part of a collection that has been named “Locomotives that our parents and grandparents built.”
