EL E8A #814 - "Death March"  Contributor's Pick!       
Still a good looking unit but from the handwritten note painted near the rear, it's on its final journey to the torches. The note states "Electromotive Divi, Gen Motors, c/o Pielet Bros, McCook, IL, 25 mph." Pielet Bros. of McCook, IL was right next to EMD and they scrapped many trade-ins to EMD. In 1977, they were in charge of scrapping a lot of the EL E-units. George Cheatwood slide
