The Milwaukee Road’s class EP2 comprised five electric locomotives built by General Electric in 1919. They were often known as Bi-polars which referred to the bipolar electric motors they used. Among the most distinctive and powerful electric locomotives of their time they epitomized the modernization of the Milwaukee Road. They came to symbolize the railroad during their nearly 40 years of use and remain an enduring image of mainline electrification.
