The Final Three Electric Interurban Freight Survivors

At one time electrified freight interurbans operated throughout the United States. Yet today just three remain in service. Toiling under the wires as if time had passed them by, these survivors depend upon an assortment of antique freight motors to keep them rolling.

Pentrex traveled to Wisconsin to record the East Troy Electric, which still pulls freight on an as-needed basis. During 1998 the railroad utilized motor L-9 when it took part in moving fourteen special loads of stainless steel tubing.

Next we visit San Antonio where Texas Transportation uses electric freight motors through city streets to serve the Pearl brewery. Then we're off to Mason City, Iowa to view multiple motors on Iowa Traction. A ride aboard one of their historic freight motors gives us a great view of the motorman at work.

Learn why these railroads continue to operate their old freight motors in modern times. If you love traction, you'll be thrilled by the sight of these antique electrics at work today!

Americans still working!

@HarveyHenkelmann Iowa traction is still living and the East troy Electric Railroad just got new cars

[Trainmaster189]

I wish all railroad tracks outside the Northeast Corridor go through electrification. That would be a better thing to do to save the environment and the economy. We'll might see electric locomotives (Including ones from Europe) pull freight and passenger trains in every state.

Unfourtunately, I don't think East Troy has hauled a freight car in over a year or maybe 2. They still have a great tourist ride however.
