Built July 1950 for Chicago & Northwestern number 5022 B (units came in pairs). Ran on the "400" trains. In mid 1960's the steam boiler was removed and replaced with a Head End Power generator for use in commuter service in Chicago. At this time the number was changed to 519. When METRA took over Chicago suburban service the engine became METRA 519. Retired in 1991. Sold 1992 to Pacific Rail Dismantlers who numbered her to PRDX 519. Sold 1997 to Monad Railway Equipment and numbered MREX 97. 2006 to Sonia Orlenko who moved the engine to the Arizona Railway Museum for display and storage.
