Eastman Kodak 80-tonner 6 Electrical Work

Volunteer Jim Johnson works on wiring beneath GE 80-tonner EK 6's deck with brake shoes installed earlier in the week visible to the right. Our 80-tonner was built new for Kodak in 1946 to replace a small fleet of "fireless" steam locomotives. Donated to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum in 1981, it has served us well ever since.
