Number 9104 was built in February 1941 ( c/n 12949 ) and along with 9105, 9106, and 9107, were the first Burlington center-cabs to come from the builder in the "new" paint scheme of black and gray with red and yellow striping. The little GE's held down switching and branch line assignments in eastern Nebraska, central Illinois, and all through Iowa. Reassignments were common. The 9104 later worked several assignments in Illinois, finally stored at West Burlington in 1969. It was assigned road number 4 by the BN ( not applied ), and was cut up at Chalen's Inc. scrapyard at the east end of the shop complex during September 1970.
