Due to continued rail operation at Lakeside Power Plant, Port Washington
Power Plant, Cold Spring Shops and East Troy, a variety of work, freight and maintenance equipment survived into
the preservation era. Much of this equipment remains today, though some has been scrapped to "harvest" mechanical parts for
passenger car restorations.
