PC 4284, E8A, 1970         
PC Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Lima, Ohio, during September of 1970. Shown here (R to L) are Penn Central Railroad engines #4284 and an E-7A whose number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD. #4284 is an E-8A built for the Pennsylvania Railroad as number "5884" in March of 1950, rated at 2,250 horsepower, and renumbered "4284" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. Overall, this is a pretty pathetic scene at a once-vibrant location. Produced and distributed by Northwest Rail Images of Eugene, Oregon. ("LouisFols" A; #2 of 2)
