Summary

Description
A Huge Electric Locomotive
By reason of its great length, 152 feet, it is built in three sections to enable it to round curves. Each unit contains two motors, so that there are really six engines in one.
One of the 36 original ALCO / Westinghouse overhead electric units for the Virginian Railway, intended for 3,000 ton coal trains.
