BN E9Am 9908 arriving at Union Station in Chicago, Illinois on October 13, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built September 1953 (c/n 18318) as CB&Q E8 9976, it became BN 9976 on March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District on April 1, 1977 and leased back the BN. Rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen during June 1978, it returned as BN 9908, leased to the BN for operation and maintenance until retired in July 1992. It became MARC 68, later MARC 92, and now resides at the Illinois Railway Museum at Union, Illinois. Unlike most of the rebuilt E's on the BN, it did not receive a name. |
