EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 711
Title:  EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 711
Description:  EJ&E Baldwin DT-6-6-2000 711 at Joliet, Illinois on July 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 711 was built by Baldwin in May 1948 as EJ&E 111 (c/n 73719). It was repowered during January 1958 with new Baldwin Model 606A prime movers replacing the original Model 606SC units. It was retired and sold to EMD in February 1970.

Between 1956 and 1960, 14 DT66-2000's were repowered by EMD (and renumered into the 900 series), 11 were repowered by the EJ&E using new Baldwin diesels (renumbered into the 700 series), and two DT66-2000's were never repowered (#'s 100 and 118). As originally built, the radiator intake was located just above the frame (a plate covers the original opening) but was moved up to accommodate Baldwin's re-designed cooling system.

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.
