Engineer Mike Rumeliote raises the pantograph on Iowa Traction Railroad No. 50. Number 50 is one of four Baldwin / Westinghouse steeple-cab electrics that the railroad owns. Weighing in at just over 50 tons, these engines are very simple and are still proving their worth over 100 years after they were built.

Iowa Traction no. 50 idles away at the Purina Plant in Mason City. Hard to believe that steeple cab is 102 years old, as it was built in October of 1920.
