This 2-8-0 Consolidation was built in 1903 by the American Locomotive Company and sold to the Illinois Central Railroad in 1904.

For many years, this engine saw hard service on the Illinois Central, hauling freight trains through Tennessee. In 1918, #790 was overhauled and modernized with a superheater. It continued to work until it was retired to storage in the 1950s.
