I read that the overhead electric system was replaced with a typical third rail, since the original 1895 system was prone to soot build-up from steam locos. The original electric shunting locomotives I assume were then fitted with third rail pick-up shoes.
Were there any subsequent locomotives purchased by the B & O in the 20th century for this third rail operation? How many locomotives did the Howard Street Tunnel System have at the height of the electric service? Where they all the same original type shown?
