 This unusual critter is a dockside car pusher from the Pennsylvania
Railroad.  The Pennsy used electric locomotives like these to shove ore cars around the Cleveland docks.  The locomotives got current from a third rail between the running rails, and were 3'6" gauge.  This example, built by the Atlas Car Company, is displayed at the Lake Shore Railway Museum.
