MILW 409 sits at Bensenville, IL behind the MILW roundhouse. It is being cannibalized to keep a few remaining FMs alive. Both Milwaukee and C&NW were supporters of the Beloit, WI based Fairbanks Morse, as both served them. Milwaukee was more adventuresome in its purchases buying Erie Built passenger cab units, C-Liner freight cabs, as well as switchers and both 4 and 6 axle hood units like this one.
