Willie Brown General I'm glad to see a photo of an old CEI engine. I grew up watching these things lug the gscx hoppers out of the Powhatan Coal fields for years. 1/19/2006 10:37:54 AM
Paul Amos General Always enjoyed seeing those in Ravenna, OH on the Conrail passing through. I also thought the CE looked like an after thought. 1/21/2006 1:03:32 PM
Mike Woodruff General I think the lettering was an afterthought. I was told they were delivered without lettering, and Conrail added the "CE" (notice it's in a Conrail font and color) so the units could be properly ID'd. 1/21/2006 2:47:36 PM
