Erie Lackawanna PA1 856 at Lowe Park in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. An unfortunate lighting situation. This locomotive was built in September 1949 as Erie PA1 856 (c/n 77104), one of 12 Erie PA1's numbered 850-861. They retained the Erie road numbers when they became Erie Lackawanna locomotives (class PA-20 on the EL), and at the time of this photo, the PA1's had been re-geared for freight service. All were traded to EMD for new power during 1969. |
