Illinois Central 2-8-0 No. 790 is displayed at Steamtown National Historic Site, where I photographed her on October 6, 2012. Constructed in 1903 by American Locomotive Company's Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works of Paterson, New Jersey as No. 100 of the Chicago Union Transfer, she became the IC's No. 641 the following year and was renumbered to 790 in 1943. As rebuilt by the Paducah Shops her dimensions include 22x26-inch cylinders, 51-inch drivers and 190 p.s.i. of boiler pressure. Weighing 183,100 pounds, she would develop 41,946 pounds of tractive force if operable. Although withdrawn from service with the IC's transition to diesel power, she was brought out of retirement during a flood at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when diesels could not pass through the water without shorting their traction motors. In 1959 No. 790 was sold to L. S. Keller of Cedar Rapids, and in 1965 performed flood duty once again for the Chicago & North Western at Clinton, Iowa. In 1966 she found her way to F. Nelson Blount's Steamtown collection, and is considered capable of being restored to operating condition.
