EL 1023         
On Friday evenings, EL road freights would gather up the RS3s assigned as local switchers in various towns across northern Ohio and bring them to Marion for servicing. Sunday road freights would redistribute these units, ready for local switching on Monday morning. Here, a hostler moves a string of serviced RS3s at the enginehouse in Marion. The S2s at left are stored out of service. Date approximate.

Dave Korhammer General Awesome. That's what I remember about Rs-3's: smokers with a raspy exhaust "voice". 7/15/2014 6:43:45 PM
