Sweethaven Harbor #25 was hauled into the shop for traction motor repairs. STRC #20 was pressed into temporary service on the SHRR.

Here she is shoving some flats onto a barge to tie on a tanker.

Thank you Paul & Tim for another fine addition to the traction roster.

The 20 looks right at home on the SHRR! I'm glad that Paul has taken this project on, as these motors were a missing link in the line of Baldwin steeple cab interurban freight locos. (and I didn't have to do 'em) ;)

Great pix! ;)
