The nonprofit Hoosier Heartland Trolley Company has received the donation of a rare, wooden 1898-built locomotive designed by General Electric for use at Singer’s South Bend cabinetry factory. The locomotive is one of the first electric locomotives built by GE at its Schenectady, New York plant. At one time, it was the oldest-known operating electric locomotive in preservation. The locomotive was donated to the organization in July 2021 by the family of the late David W. Peat - an Indianapolis native, electrical engineer and historian.
