Commonwealth Edison 4 sits in the station at the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) at night as they wait to depart with a pull, push, caboose train, with Shay #5 on the other end, on September 16th, 2023, during the museums 70th anniversary celebration weekend at Union, Illinois.
According to the IRM Website: Commonwealth Edison 4 is a “steeplecab” electric locomotive. It is the oldest preserved electric locomotive with articulated trucks, a design where the truck frames are connected together and carry all buffering forces. It hauled coal trains around the Northwest Generating Station in Chicago for 50 years until acquired by IRM in 1962.
