Comments on: More of Oshawa Railway’s electric locomotives, or “motors” as many railways called them, at the OR’s shops off Hillcroft St. Here we have motor 326 coupled to 402, both of slightly different designs. Note the pole hung between 326′s trucks, used to for moving or “poling” cars on adjacent tracks by way of the round holes or poling pockets on the pilot end. A somewhat dangerous practice that many railroads abandoned.
