(erielack) One railfans dream, anothers nightmare



This is an paragraph from a report about a Railfest celebrating a minor 
player in railroad history.  Where are the proto police when we need them?  The 
highlighted areas speak for themselves. What did the EL ever do to the PRR??

The Nittany & Bald Eagle RR excursions from Tyrone to Port Matilda ran 
flawlessly. Consist was North Shore GP38 2004 (ex-CR) painted in EL 
colors with commemorative 20-year NSHR anniversary markings on the east 
end, then former CR technical car 20 (ex-Pullman 10-6 sleeper Chicopee 
Falls, built for use on NYC, later owned by, I believe, in succession 
Alco and EMD; current configuration is lounge/HEP power car), now 
painted for PRR and named Spirit of Sunbury; ex-CR baggage car 23 
(ex-NYC heavyweight, now painted for PRR); three ex-EL MU commuter 
coaches (now painted for PRR); PRR N8 478044; and NSHR GP8 1602. 

Almost as bad as Mantua EL GP20's, C415's, DL&W C-Liners
