(erielack) March Picture

["MONTGOMERY| ED" <emontgom_@_LAN.TJHSST.EDU>]

Well, here we are at the end of March and not much has been said 
about the RS2 on the EL calendar.  Probably because there isn't 
very much to say.  This would be a picture, that if I took it, I would 
probably file away.  Not that interesting.  All thought it does 
demonstrate how the MOW crew used the Jordan Spreader to 
create a path for water to drain away from the roadbed.  This was 
the bland era of EL with very little repainting done of the old Erie 
engines.  Suprisingly many of the Lackawanna road switchers did 
get the new black and yellow paint which actually made them a 
little more attractive than the all black paint that had been applied 
to them.  But the Erie units usually got nothing more than the split 
E replaced on their diamonds.  Things started to change when 
William White came along.
