Re: 43.5" mule 3rd rail electric

The Alaska State Museum in Juneau has a 3' gauge Baldwin 18 ton electric locomotive from the Alaska Gasteneau Mine railroad on display... It was one of three owned by the company, two of which ended up on the Santa Cruz Portland Cement operation at Davenport CA, then to CSRM, who gave it to the Alaska State Museum.

The red triangle panel in the photo is covering the original lettering exposed during the preservation study... as displayed, that area is the same Baldwin green with the lettering preserved and visible... The museum just reopened after a complete rebuilding, which included building a new storage area with some display space, moving the artifacts into that area, then tearing down the old building and building a new building...

These big Baldwin and GE electric mining locomotives were surprisingly common...
