That's the odd thing - the EL really started to skimp on maintenance towards the end. A friend of mine used to work for EMD in those days as a field technician, and he said he noticed the EL was slipping on the regular SD45-and-variant maintenance procedures due to lack of money. That's something you don't often hear about today... - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
