That’s what Milwaukee Road crews called that road’s twelve big electrics that were nearly identical to this South Shore example, seen here at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore. Like a generation earlier, when American locomotive builders ended up with over two hundred 2-10-0’s as stranded assets at the start of the Bolshevik Revolution, General Electric was stuck with twenty of these motors ready for delivery to the Soviet Union when the Cold War escalated in 1946. Like the steam builders did in 1917, GE re-gauged the engines and put them up for sale. Although the Milwaukee Road was interested in all twenty, they ended up with twelve, the South Shore got three, and five went to Brazil. The South Shore donated one of the electrics to The Illinois Railroad Museum, while its 802 ended up at the B&O Museum. Eventually, it was repatriated to the Lake Shore Railway Historical Museum in North East, Pennsylvania, very near its Erie birthplace.
