Re: (erielack) Restored EL 2nd generation diesels ??

GVT has most of those C425's between Scranton and Utica/Carthage, at least
most of the existant ones.  The ones on LA&L and Minnesota Connecting are
GE rebuilds of C424's that went to Conrail, and the LA&L's C425 is a NH
unit.   I believe Guilford may still have a couple of hulks left, too -
nice article on the CR units in the current issue of Diesel Era, in
addition to an article on LV diesels -

The original numbers were 2460's and one of the D-L's is a 2461.  I believe
all of them are getting original numbers back under GVT numbering, although
not all will get EL paint back.  I wouldn't call it restored exactly,
anyways - they're still working! :o)
