Toledo Edison
Steeple Cab Locomotive # 2
|
|
Toledo Edison Steeple Cab Locomotive # 2 was built in 1924 by the Differential Car Company of Findlay, Ohio. It was used by the Toledo Edison Company to move hopper cars and coal at the company's Acme power plant in Toledo, Ohio. In later years, employees at the plant referred to TE 2 as “Leapin’ Lena”, because controller problems made it lurch in operation.
