U.S. Army Locomotive #1216 44-Ton Switch Engine
A Little Engine with a Big Job
Switch engines move cars and put trains together.
#1216 belongs to the "44-ton" class of switch engines. Many of these locomotives were built for the military. They were designed to be small, with a low cab, so that they could fit into cargo ships during wartime. This locomotive, designed to be operated by one person, was built by American Locomotive Company (ALCO).
#1216 served at the Tooele Army Depot in Utah.
