Re: (erielack) Happy Erie Lackawanna Day!
The MUs were my favorite...at speed, they gave as thrilling a ride as you
could get anywhere.

I missed the EL freight era-though many times I have imagined various GMY
units pacing me as I drove along the Canisteo River. My exposure to the EL
was on the commuter lines in Jersey. I was fortunate to have ridden the DLW
MU's, and I can recall riding them on summer days with the windows open,
taking in the aroma of brake shoe smoke as we sat in a station, then the
grinding of the motors as we started and picked up speed. Mundane, to be
sure, but an experience you won't repeat today.
