EL RS3 #1051 |
| Description: |
Waiting on a signal, #1051 is working eastbound on a local (on the Erie Lackawanna Chicago-Hoboken line - about 21 miles west of Akron). It will cross the B&O Washington-Chicago line at the tower. The two railroads paralleled each other for a few miles on either side of the crossing. A B&O branch line north started at Sterling also. Today - the EL line, tower and buildings are gone. CSX still operates both ex-B&O lines. |

| Title: |
Four EL E8 units rolling in Ohio |
| Description: |
Ex-Erie E8 831 leads 3 others west a few miles west of Marion,Oh. Moving at a fast clip - maybe not as fast as their passenger hauling days - but rolling quickly across the flatlands of this part of Ohio. The second unit that was smoking was 810 , one of the E8 demonstator units built in 1951 and purchased by the Lackawanna. Unfortunately this was the last EL train I ever saw or photographed. I had spent a couple of enjoyable days in Marion but had to get back to Texas. It was ironic and nice that the last train was all E units that I got to ride behind many times as a kid going to my grandparents. |
