Re: Crown Zellarbach

I used to own 3 Westinghouse electric locomotives and a flatcar with archbar trucks that came from the Camas, Wa papermill.

I bought the locomotives from the Oregon Electric Trolley group when they moved to Brooks, Or. They were 3 ft. gauge and so were the trucks. I later was given a flatcar deck from one of the flatcars Bobby Babcock had given NSRR Museum. They used the trucks for a old narrow gauge passenger car and didn't want the deck.

The locomotives ran off overhead cantenary (sp) wire like trollies.They ranged in age from 1930 to the 1950's. They weighed in at about 15 ton each. I found this out after I donated them to a museum in Wisconsin and we tried to load two on one truck!

I sold the flatcar on ebay two years ago at the same time I was selling my two Vulcan 0-4-0's. It landed in Ca. and so did the third electric locomotive.
