Built by ALCO-GE, #113 was used on electrified tracks between Grand Central station in New York City and Harmon, N.Y. (a distance of 33 miles). It is a 2+D+2 class S-2 which was the prototype for thousands of Lionel and Ives electric trains. Engine #113 was one of 34 designed originally to haul passengers. Employing an early "bi-polar" design, it operated on 660 volts DC and produced 2,200 HP. Power generally was obtained from an electrified 'third rail,' but small pantographs on the top of the engine were used with an overhead wire when #113 operated through complex switches in New York City's Park Avenue tunnel. These locomotives were gradually replaced by more powerful electric engines while #113 and a few sisters remained in operation into the 1960s, switching cars in Grand Central Terminal. It was donated in 1963 by the New York Central Railroad.
