EL GP35 2573         
Three weeks after the start of Conrail finds these 2 EL units on a Southbound River Line Freight. It didn't take CR management (mostly ex PC men) to figure out that the EL units were much better maintained than the PC's stuff, so the EL engines were very quickly transferred to former PC lines.

Douglas Hildebrandt General The EL had a great paint scheme, too bad they became part of Conrail. 1/28/2009 12:00:30 AM
Fred Stuckmann General It's still done that way today. Give the guys who wrecked the place more money. Nice photo Jim. 11/9/2009 8:41:53 PM
