Disco E 60  Contributor's Pick!       
I dont recall that any of the other E 60s got repainted in this scheme. This one was at Hoboken for the festival, and may have been painted primarily for the purpose of showing it off there. The E60s never had the success of the GG 1s, and were soon replaced by a variety of European design electrics in the late 80s and 90s. This unit had to be towed in, as it was powered by alternating current and could not run on the DLW 3000 volt DC network.
