EJE 0-8-0 #579 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy |
| Description: |
This beefy 0-8-0 yard switcher started life out as Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern Rwy 2-8-0 #579 (serial #44414). Records show that this was scrapped in September of 1948, the same date as this photo so this may be the last time it was seen before the scrapper's torch. No photographer was listed. built by Alco-Pittsburgh in August of 1907. After the CLS&E was merged into the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern that same year, this loco fell on the EJE roster. In April of 1931, it was converted to the 0-8-0 you see here. |
