Several
INCO electric motors are getting some attention inside the Copper Cliff
shop on August 19, 1991. The railway also used a few internal
combustion units. Lurking in the background is ALCO S-2 locomotive 203,
which had originally operated as Western Maryland number 144. |
Vale
Railway (reporting mark VAEX) is a good-sized private mining and
industrial railway operating in the vicinity of Greater Sudbury,
Ontario. Prior to an ownership change, the company was known as the
International Nickel Company, and the railway was named INCO Railway
with reporting mark INCX. Between 1926 and 2000 the railway was
electrified, and a couple of the company's electric locomotives were
present in the Copper Cliff shop on the day when today's photo was
exposed in August of 1991. Units 113 and 116 were both 100 ton
locomotives produced by GE in 1938 and 1948, respectively. Two of
INCO's electric motors, specifically 101 and 116, have been preserved at
the Northern Ontario Railway Museum in Capreol.
