Erie's GP's all had 6-BL brakes (with the notable exception of GP9
#1262, which had 26-L brakes - anyone know why?)

Note the DL&W's GP's had 24-RL (freight units) and 26-L (passenger
unnits)

900-901: 6-DS
902-933, 951-954, 1004-1038: 6-SL
1039-1059: 24-RL  (ex-DL&W)

There's the rub. That's why Erie's GP's and RS's would only MU with
themselves, and not anything else on the roster.
