Viewing Album:  St. Louis Museum of Transportation: Big Boy, Katy Steam Engine, and a Whole Lot More
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:6/19/2021 - 6/19/2021
Album Info:Howdy, everybody! This past Saturday, I went to Lee's Summit, Missouri, took the Missouri River Runner to Kirkwood, and took Uber from there to the St. Louis Museum of Transportation. They have cars and planes there too, but the trains are by far the best part! The collection's so huge, I didn't have time to see everything, so sorry if your favorite engine from it didn't make it into the album. However, I got shots of a lot of neat ones! Even with the wait once you book your driver, Uber will get you from the station to the museum in under 30 minutes, so definitely consider it if you happen to live near any of the Missouri River Runner stops. Enjoy the album!

MILW E-2
Title:  MILW E-2
Description:  By mounting two field magnets on each motor (creating two magnetic poles, hence the term bi-polar), the engine did not need any gearing connecting the axle to the motor. Instead, the axle serves as part of the motor itself.
