Jeffrey 20-Ton Haulage Locomotives in Tandem   Save
Jeffrey Manufacturing Company Collection
Description: 20-ton haulage locomotives made by the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio in use at the Cannelton Coal and Coke Company, Cannelton, West Virginia, 1948. When more power was needed locomotives could be attached together and run in tandem, as seen in this photograph. Haulage locomotives were used to pull long trains of cars, called "trips", from mines. A trolley arm extended from the locomotive to an overhead electrical cable to provide power. Electric locomotives could travel approximately 5 miles per hour. View on Ohio Memory.
