This locomotive is unique in that it has no handrails on the sides of the doors as do all of the other No. 248 Electric Locomotives. In 1932, the body for the No. 248 locomotive modified by removal of the handrails for use with Lionel produced Ives Electric Locomotives Nos. 3260 and 3261. A number of these modified bodies were subsequently used for production of Lionel No. 248 Electric Locomotives.
