The first location was at the Viterra Grain elevator that is located at Browns, Illinois, just east of Albion, IL, as the engine passed their GP9 5000 there. This locomotive was built for the Milwaukee Road in May 1959, as MILW 311. From the Milwaukee, this engine worked for Indiana Railroad (IRRC 311), Nucor Steel (NUCX 311), and ConAgra (CAGX 5000) and now Viterra, although I’m not sure if it is still in use today.
