E-9 unit 100 was ex-Milwaukee Road 36A, one of only six E-type locomotives built by General Motors-EMD with a HEP (head-end power) generator from their plant in La Grange, IL. It was one of the last models, built in late 1961.
Running gear, engines, traction equipment, electrical systems and body are in excellent condition. The locomotive comes with a “Zero-Time”, newly-rebuilt Cummins 500 KW (peak), separately cooled, diesel-generator set, (needs to be re-installed). In addition, it is equipped with a third air compressor, located in the nose of the locomotive and powered by the head-end power generator, so that the main engines do not need to be running to supply air to the train. The locomotive is equipped with the original MARS light, which is fully-functional and operates in a classical, horizontal figure-eight pattern. A melodious Nathan five-chime air horn, which trumpets the most beautiful sound known in American railroading, has been installed. This locomotive was originally in Chicago commuter service, but also operated in pool service on Milwaukee Road's famed "Hiawatha" train, up to Aberdeen, SD and on numerous charters to the Wisconsin Dells and other assignments, as required. Detailed specifications after the pictures below. |
