I have recently come across an old magazine featuring some photos of Claremont Yard's electric PUSHERS. Apparently, the LV employed a fleet of 4 GE built B-2-E electric locomotives that used 3rd rail power. They were numbered 10 through 14 and ran on 42' inch gauge tracks. They served from 1922-1923 until the early 1950s. The thing that i find the most interesting about these little yard motors is that they have ARMS, and they are possibly the only electric locomotives employed by the LV.
