'People Mover' Alco S4?
Author: valmont

Here's a Rich Louderback shot of Bombardier #305 @ Barre VT on 10/13/89 ... what's the story behind 'The People Mover' ? Doesn't look like it would work very well on an airport concourse ; > )

Looks like it was once a Bombardier factory switcher. Bombardier Canada built trains, planes, snowmobiles and other "people mover's".

 Here's one of Bombardier's other examples: Bombardier HR412 #7000 built in 1982 ... no other info.

Did you actually read what is actually on the locomotive?

The People Mover Mover.

It moves people movers, not people.

This was the switcher for a shop that built passenger cars (such as Amtrak, MBTA, etc.), so the slogan makes perfect sense.

Bombardier's plant for manufacturing systems that are traditionally thought of as people movers (like those found at airports) is in West Mifflin, PA.
