Re: (erielack) Lackawanna Electrics

Hank,

The Lackawanna had the 2 GE Tri-power units; 3501 and 3502 delivered in
1930 and had a GE 50-ton steeple cab electric; 4001 that was delivered
in 1926. That's right, 1926, 4 years BEFORE the electrification of the
M&E. I don't recall where it was used but it was retired and sold in
1942 and went to the Shawinigan Falls Terminal Railroad as their number
7. It lasted there until 1952. Shawinigan Falls is Quebec.

Regards,

Will Shultz
