From Electric City Trolley Museum website:
"General Electric built M&F #10 in the 1920s. The MacAndrews and Forbes Company was a licorice manufacturer in Camden, N.J., which operated an internal industrial railway electrified at 250 volts direct current (DC). Little four-wheeled locomotives like #10 worked at moving and distributing supplies and finished materials within the plant compound, and #10 survives today as an example of how electric railway technology was applied to industrial applications."
The locomotive can be seen without entering the museum. Access is from Steamtown. The museum is open daily from 9 AM untitil 4 PM.
Trolley excursions are conducted from April untl November.
