TER Class B Locomotive 904 at Monroe Shops |
Date |
1941, July 31 |
Description |
Texas Electric Railway Company Class "B" Locomotive 904 in the Monroe Shops Yard. This appears to be on the north side of the central bay of the Carbarn. In 1934, Passenger Motor 325 burned on a Saturday night in the fall of 1934. This car sat in the yard for some months before being converted into Locomotive 904. 904, was used as a 1200 volt freight motor until the final days of Texas Electric Railway Company in 1948. It was one of two freight motors kept in use for salvage operations at Monroe Shops and to switch the Eighth Street packing plant pending arrangements by the Santa Fe to take over. After these several months of extended service into 1949, 904 was dismantled. See: Map 8, Detail A |
