IATR Steeple Cab #30 - Iowa Terminal RR |
| Description: |
Built by McGuire in 1915, this little steeple cab has led an interesting life. Built for the Charles City Western Rwy (CCW) as their #300, it was part of the Iowa Terminal RR purchase of the CCW in 1963 and renumbered as #30 for the Charles City electrified section. On May 15, 1968, an F5 tornado went through Charles City, destroying the line’s overhead wires. The ITR decided not to restore the overhead but to “dieselize” the Charles City Division. Motors #53, #30, and Car #101 were transferred to Mason City and basically put into storage. Eventually Motor #30 was sold to the Illinois Railroad Museum, where it is in the final stages of restoration as CCW #300. Specs - 32 ft long, 9'3" wide, engine weight of 7,000 lb, 4 GE 205E motores. No photographer and date is approximate. |

TIRR Steeplecab #75 - Toledo & Indiana RR |
| Description: |
Interesting and rare photo of a Toledo & Indiana RR steeplecab. The concept behind the Toledo & Indiana was to link Toledo, Indianapolis & Chicago by interurban rail. Begun as the Toledo & Indiana Rwy, it eventually evolved into the Toledo & Indiana RR. Eventually it was controlled by Cities Services Co after 1926. The interurban section was abandoned in 1939. No exact date in 1937 was given nor was a location or photographer for the photo. |

HOMC Steeplecab #307 - Hanna Ore Mining Co |
| Description: |
Built by GE in 1927, this electric steeplecab was one of three ordered at that time for the Hanna Ore Mining Company. The three worked the Wabigon Mine near Buhl, MN until the mine closed in 1930. The loco and its sister units were then sent to the Mesabi Chief Mines near Keewahn, MN. When that mine closed in 1968, the Hanna Ore Mining Company then donated the loco in 1974 to the Lake Superior RR Museum. Its sister units were donated to mining museums and a town for a park display. |
