Milwaukee Road E82 switching at Deer Lodge, Montana. The E82 continued in service until the end of electric operations on the Milwaukee Road on June 15, 1974. The E82 was the last Milwaukee electric locomotive to operate on the final day, after the Little Joes were stored upon arrival at Deer Lodge.
The Milwaukee Road had 4 ES-2 class electric switchers: 2 were built in 1916 and the other 2 in 1919. They were of steeple cab design, with a single roof-mounted pantograph to access the Milwaukee's 3,000 volt DC overhead line. Originally numbered 10050–10053, they were renumbered E80–E83 in March 1939.
