Look familiar? This is the back end of ex-Cincinnati & Lake Erie Red Devil high-speed 117, seen here on April 16 2005.
Built by Cincinnati in 1930, it was sold by the C&LE to the Cedar Rapids & Iowa City in 1938 and ran on CRANDIC until retired and made into a shed of some sort in 1953.
It was later acquired by Ed Blossom, but was in such poor shape that it was scrapped in 2004. The front and back ends were salvaged by the museum.
