IHC Premier M9865 C&NW Class E 4-6-2 Semi-Streamliner Pacific Locomotive #1617

"Between 1909 and 1923 Alco's Schenectady Works built 168 class E Pacifics for C&NW through and suburban passenger trains and 18 E's for the Omaha Road. The E's evolved as they were built and there were significant differences among them. Two of the E class, 1617 and 1620, were streamlined in 1941 for the Minnesota 400. Between 1948 and 1953 the E-class Pacifics were renumbered to make way for diesels. The leading 1 was dropped, making the series 500-677; 1600-1602 became 670-672 to avoid conflict with the Omaha's big Pacifics." (From "The Guide to North American Steam Locomotives" compiled by George H. Drury.)
