E.J. Lavino & Company #3
The American Locomotive Company built this 0-6-0T saddle tank industrial switch locomotive in 1927. E.J. Lavino and Company put the #3 to work at its Sheridan, Pennsylvania, yards.
E.J. Lavino and Company operated a ferro-manganese blast furnace in Sheridan. Manganese, a necessary ingredient in the manufacture of steel, was provided by E.J. Lavino to the United States' steel industry.
The steel industry, in turn, was an important supplier to the railroads - supplying the basic ingredient for manufacture of rails, locomotives, and car parts.
Marker can be reached from Mechanic Street, on the right when traveling east.
