The 1974 ones may have been on the floor in Erie, as the order was cancelled in 1-75. It would appear that GE went shopping for an alternate buyer pretty fast, and found one. The 2305/2804/3305 might be the most significant of the bunch, being an early build and a long time survivor. ------------------------------
