EJE SD-M #818 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Title:  EJE SD-M #818 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Description:  Quite a surprise when I spotted former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern loco #818. Much like JTBX #814 at the Hoosier Valley RR Museum, this loco started out as Duluth, Missabee & Eastern SD9 #172. It bounced to the EJE and then onto several other rosters before landing in the Hoosier Valley RR Museum in all its orange J splendor.
