EL U34CH #3365 - Erie Lackawanna |
| Description: |
A timid U34CH unit peeks out from the engine house. Built by GE in April of 1971, it was one of 32 built for the joint effort between the New Jersey Department of Transportation and Erie Lackawanna. The partnership was one of the possible solutions to the growing EL debt problem but unfortunately it was too little, too late. To show their NJDOT ownership, the units were painted in a dark blue and silver paint scheme with NJDOT logo and were often called "Bluebirds" by rail enthusiasts. The U34CHs on the weekends were sometimes used in Erie Lackawanna freight service, often being on freight duty from Saturday to Sunday and returning to commuter service Monday morning. In 1976, they came under Conrail control. Unknown photographer |

| Description: |
This GE U34CH unit, NJT $173, had an interesting history starting with the joint venture between Erie Lackawanna and New Jersey Department of Transportation in the early 1970's. The units were then passed on to Conrail in the late 1970's and eventually into the controlling hands of New Jersey Transit. From 1990-96, the 33 units were sold, loaned, or scrapped unitl all were off the roster by 1996. Unknown photographer. |
