EL F3A #6621 - Erie Lackawanna
Title:  EL F3A #6621 - Erie Lackawanna
Description:  The proud profile of this EMD built F3A unit is captured in this photo by F. R. Kern while stopped at Scranton, PA. Originally delivered to Delaware, Lackawanna & Western as #662A in March of 1948 (builder #4978), this photo must have been taken shortly after the EL merger. Unusually sharp looking diesel on this January day!

EL RS2 #906 - Erie Lackawanna
Title:  EL RS2 #906 - Erie Lackawanna
Description:  Sitting between its sisters in the Saddle Brook, NJ yard, EL #906 was delivered to the Erie by Alco in November of 1949 and served as ERIE #906 before the merger. It carried the same number as EL #906. When the loco was merged into the Conrail roster, it was renumbered CR 5206. The final disposition is unknown but would assume that it was scrapped like many of the Alcos were under Conrail sometime in the late 1970's to early 1980's. No photographer was listed and the date is approximate since none was given.
