EL PA1 855
Title:  EL PA1 855
Description:  Erie Lackawanna PA1 855 at about 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to an old City of Chicago map I have, this location was known as Lowe Park, approximately 52nd Street and Normal Avenue. The Erie and later, the EL had a small yard and engine facility at that location. This locomotive was built as Erie PA1 855 in September 1949 (c/n 77103) and retained that road number on the EL, classed PA-20. No longer in passenger service, it was re-geared for freight service, although the steam heat connection is still visible through the slot at the bottom of the pilot. It was traded to EMD for new power in 1969.
