EL E8A #814 - "Death March" |
| Description: |
Still a good looking unit but from the handwritten note painted near the rear, it's on its final journey to the torches. The note states "Electromotive Divi, Gen Motors, c/o Pielet Bros, McCook, IL, 25 mph." Pielet Bros. of McCook, IL was right next to EMD and they scrapped many trade-ins to EMD. In 1977, they were in charge of scrapping a lot of the EL E-units. George Cheatwood slide |

| Description: |
Eastbound EL #827 crosses Broad Street in my hometown and hits the EJE/CO/GTW/EL diamond. The diamond was a pure headache for car drivers but a pure joy for railroad enthusiasts. The unit was built by EMD for the Erie in February of 1951 (bldr #12225) and kept the same number through the Erie/DLW merger. Note the signalman's shanty to the left. It has since been moved acroos the street to the Griffith Historical Society land along with the EJE tower which would be behind the unknown photographer on this day in 1971. |
