OntarioContext
International Nickle Company (INCO) Electric #101 was built by Westinghouse & National Steel Car in 1919, Serial No. LE-27; 50 ton type. Formerly owned by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission (Ontario Government), the locomotive was used on the Queenston (Niagara) “Chippewa Project.” It was acquired by INCO in July of 1926 and retired in 1998 before being donated to the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum and Heritage Centre.
The International Nickel Corporation of Canada was founded in 1902, when the Canadian Copper Company and Orford Company merged with the financial backing of American banker J. P. Morgan and Charles Schwab of Carnegie Steel. It was the world's leading producer of Nickel. By 2006 INCO was bought out by the Brazilian company Vale.Collection
