RE: (erielack) Picture help
As others have noted, the E8s could, indeed, MU from the front, through the MU connector mounted at
about 4:30 from the headlight. I seem to remember reading just recently that this wasn't installed
on the DL&W units until after the merger. The shot is clearly a post-merger shot.
