(erielack) Athearn EL SD45-2

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

Nice loco, can't wait fro mine to arrive. It reminds me of the irony of EL,
the quintessential H&W route thanks to Erie clearances, ordering locomotives
with trimmed-down fans and low-mounted horns. LDY said it was for  tight NE
clearances on Maybrook runthroughs, but PC didn't take this precaution and
wasn't breaking off horns. Another irony: apparently some tracks in Cx yard
were so close they wouldn't clear a man between. This is because the yard
was built after conversion to SG.
