Here's a Minecraft build of a somewhat lesser known electric locomotive, the Boston and Maine's boxcab that was used for pulling trains through the infamous 4.75 mile Hoosac Tunnel.

The Pennsylvania Railroad class E3b was a pair experimental electric locomotive supplied by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co Built in November of 1951. The locomotive was of the two unit design, with each unit having a B-B-B (AAR) or Bo-Bo-Bo (UIC) wheel arrangement. The bodywork and running gear was produced by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton while the electrical equipment was provided by Westinghouse, who also acted as the main contractor. They were powered by AC current fed via a transformer tap changer through 12 Ignitron (Mercury arc) rectifier to DC traction motors which ended up giving the locomotive 3,000 horsepower. Unfortunately both were scrapped in 1964 with only 13 years of service.

In the picture above we see E3b No. 4995 with a PRR boxcab in the background.

Here's a rather small Minecraft train build, the Butte Anaconda & Pacific Boxcab Electric.

I've drawn some Milwaukee Road electrics before, but I had yet to draw the EF-1/EP-1 Boxcab Electrics until now so here, enjoy.

Another oddity! This is a shop-built locomotive, constructed by the Charles City Western from the power truck of a McKeen Car. See my other post about those. With only one powered axle out of two, and light weight, this can't have been capable of hauling many cars but probably did a good job of light duty.
