EJE DT66-2000 #711 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Title:  EJE DT66-2000 #711 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Description:  Talk about "one long drink of water" as diesels go, this massive DT66-2000 loco was built by Baldwin in May of 1948 originally as EJE 111. Although the length is listed as 74', it appears so much longer than that! Itwas renumbered in January of 1958 to EJE #711. After nearly 22 years of service, the loco was retired in February of 1970. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so approximates were used.
