EL E8A #814 - Erie Lackawanna  Contributor's Pick!       
Nice shot from an original color negative by an unknown photographer of 1951 EMD built Erie Lackawanna (nee-DLW) taken at an unidentified location. With the watchman's tower in the far, far right background, could this be Marion, Ohio? I have also posted earlier a photo of #814 on its "death march" through Fort Wayne, IN, in May of 1977. Date and location are approximate.

Olaf Junges General Great photo! 1/7/2017 3:54:01 AM
Fred Stuckmann General I'm thinking that it's Marion too, the train is going down the Dayton Branch. Kenton Ave. is under the last 2 units. 1/8/2017 6:19:01 PM
Wayne Hudak General Gary, you mention the "death march" train thru Ft Wayne in May 1977. I saw the same train (I called it The Funeral Train) at Hobart Indiana on Memorial Day 1977 heading to Chicago on the PFW&C. It was lead by a Reading unit. I was on my way to a cookout and couldn't get the camera out. I have seen a pic of that train arriving in Chicago. 12/19/2020 2:31:21 PM
