Compressed

This 2’0” gauge 0-4-0 locomotive was built in 1908 by H K Porter of Pittsburgh to operate from compressed air, allowing it to be used in flammable areas where other locos would not be able to operate.

I came across this during a visit to the B C Museum of Mining near Squamish while driving from Whistler to Vancouver in 1998.
