Chris, GE records show it was sent to Moffatt Coal Company. I believe it was originally built for Glen Alden Coal in 1905, but later operated for Moffatt.

Industrial Rail Ray has a phenomenal data base and what's even more amazing is these records were created and maintained long before computers or any semblance of a modern office

i like those vertical brake wheels. They seem like they'd be easier to use being that they're higher.

Well after reviewing this thread I realized that most of the locmotives pictured were at museums or scrap yards.

So we decided to post a few showing mine locomotives still in service at mines doing the job they were built for (HAULING COAL or working at the mine).

Great picture with a Greensburg Storage Battery in service.
