About the Steam Dummy
A steam dummy is a small steam locomotive fitted with a full passenger car cab. Designed to keep horses calm on street railways, these units were soon overtaken when Westinghouse introduced a traction motor. Loggers later sought steam power to haul log cars to the cutting sites, and surplus steam dummies sold for near scrap value, which is how many of them ended up in the woods.
