Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad Locomotive No. 312 at Ford Motor Company Rouge Plant, 1925
01
Artifact Overview
Under Henry Ford's ownership, the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad converted locomotive number 312 to burn pulverized waste coal from Ford-owned mines. The tender was covered with a roof to keep coal dust from blowing away, and the locomotive was given a wider smokestack. The experiment failed and number 312's modifications were quickly removed.
