Compressed Air Trammer with 1 Ton Ore Cars

Compressed Air Trammer with 1 Ton Ore Cars on display at the The Jack Koza Memorial Park in the Town of Cobalt Coleman Township in the District of Timiskaming Northeastern Ontario Canada

 

This Tramming locomotive has a tank that is filled with compressed air that is used to drive the air motor which moves the locomotive and the ore cars along the track. As the air is used up and the air pressure falls the air tank has to be refilled at a valve station or from an air compressor. A compressed air Trammer could pull anywhere from twelve to fourteen one ton ore cars down a track.
