Mule Driver
Electric locomotive (called a "mule") on the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. Mules connect to the ships in the locks via cables that are used to center the ship in the lock. The ship moves from lock to lock under its own power, the mules just follow along taking up and letting out their cables as directed by the pilot on the ship.
