Milwaukee Road E90, an 80-ton Whitcomb 300-horsepower gas-electric built on 1929, appears here at Bensenville, Illinois in a photo from the collection of Clifford "Mike" Southard. Originally numbered 5800, this unit was repowered to diesel-electric by Whitcomb in 1941, at which time it assumed the number E90. It was later a renumbered to 1800 before the Milwaukee Road sold it and a classmate to the United States Government in 1944. The photo, which dates to the early 1940s, comes to our Archive via the Kishwaukee Valley Heritage Museum in Genoa, Illinois.
