Описание к видео Hoosac Tunnel - Rare Footage - Electrics at the Tunnel (Motors, Locomotives, Engines)

Here is a nice find. Electric engines being used at the East and West portals of the Hoosac Tunnel! Starting in 1911 and running until 1946, the Hoosac Tunnel utilized electric engines to haul trains through in an attempt to dampen the amount of smoke produced by steam locomotives.
