Dates:7/21/2012 - 7/21/2012
Album Info:This CSS 802 "Little Joe" 247-ton electric locomotive (1,500 VDC - 5,000 HP - 3,700 KW) is located at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, PA. Per museum information, it was built in 1949 by General Electric in Erie, PA --- intended to be used by Joseph Stalin's Russia. Twenty were built for Soviet Railways but were never delivered. The trucks were re-gauged for use on USA rail and 5 were sold to Paulistra Railway, 3 to South Shore Line, and 12 to Milwaukee Road. CSS 802 is one of three known to exist although some reports indicate that a shell is preserved in Brazil. CSS&SB 802 and 803 were the last mainline electric freight locomotives to operate in North America --- retired in 1983. CSS 802 was last operated by the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad (CSS&SB). The locomotive is non-operational.
