The Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum (YSHM) has acquired former Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) Ore Shunter Locomotive No. 3 from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA. In 2015 the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania declared No. 3 surplus to their collection and decided to deaccession the locomotive. The ore shunter was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1912 for the Whisky Island iron ore docks in Cleveland, OH, and was used to move hopper cars for loading by the four Hulett unloaders at the facility. No. 3 was built to operate on 42 ½” gauge track, gathering power from third and fourth rails located between the running rails. It has two retractable arms which would push against the corner pockets of the hopper cars to move them into position. No. 3 is joined in preservation by No.7 located at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, PA.
