Tim Fennell General How confident are you in the date of this photo? I know that in February 1986, the Illinois Railway Museum contacted Chrome about potentially acquiring an E7A and were advised that these were long gone but a Milwaukee Road FP7 was available. The second F-unit in this photo does have some of the features of MILW #104C, however it would have been at Union, IL by May of 1986. Also, when the museum was moving #104C, parts were removed from scrap BN F-units at Silvis. I spy the cascade green covered wagons in the background. Either way a neat photo. Thanks for posting. 7/10/2017 6:59:59 PM
