| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GE 44 Ton 9103 at Monmouth, Illinois on May 30, 1958, photographer unknown, duplicate slide by Al Chione, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin Number 6, CENTER-CABS, edited by Hol Wagner. The 9103, a single-unit order, was constructed in August 1940 ( c/n 12908 ) and delivered on September 4, the very first GE 44-tonner delivered. Milwaukee Road 1690 was also built in August, but it was delivered 10 days after 9103. Number 9103 was delivered in a very plain solid black but was soon repainted. It was withdrawn from service in 1969 and stored at Galesburg. The BN renumbered 9103 to BN 1 in July 1970 then was sold for scrap in November to Precision Engineering. |
