Re: (erielack) Happy Erie Lackawanna Day!

My apologies for coming to this a day late, but...
 
Like Rick Fleischer, I grew up near Warren, Ohio, in Leavittsburg specifically.  I'd have to say my EL memory is crossing the tracks on Leavitt Road, which I did many times.  From the north, it was two tracks (2nd Sub), the TOFC ramp off to the left, then 3 tracks (1st Sub), then almost as an afterthought, one track on a slightly lower grade (B&O line to Newton Falls).  Although most of the trains I saw were freight trains, the ones that stick in my mind the most were the passenger trains...they seemed to go so fast and be so short.  For some reason, I only remember Westbounds, and only on the 2nd Sub.
 
And I'd like to echo Rick's comments on GMY.  All the black-and-yellow Erie stuff seemed old and small, and the GMY equipment all shiny and modern and BIG.
 
And does anyone remember when the trim on SN tower was repainted from Erie green to red?  It seemed to be too red to be maroon, and I can't imagine CR doing that.

Steve, 
Thanks for the reminder. Suppose in honor of our beloved RR, today each one of us share just one thing about the EL that sticks in our minds the most.
