Overview
Docksides were switch engines used to move cars around a dock or pier during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They featured a built-in coal bunker behind the cab rather than a trailing coal tender. This configuration made the small engines ideal for fitting into tight spaces and shuttling cars around the docks for loading and unloading cargo, a job larger engines could not have done.
