Re: (erielack) EL GP38-2's
There allegedly were 20 each of the GP38-2's and U23B's but none ever painted and lettered EL. They may have ended in the CR Roster.
CR also received from PC five dual control GP38's 7935-7939 just before first GP38-2.
On a similar Pre-Merger, Post Merger matter. SLSF (Frisco) before taken over by BN in the 80's purchased some GP50's in Red-White-Red SLSF scheme and lettered so but did not carry SLSF Number 700 as proposed but delivered with a "patch" over the number with small red letters "BN and Number 3100" below. Unlike proposed EL units, at least the SLSF GP50's were 99% Frisco paint and lettering before repainted BN Cascade Green and Black.
Its not known if new EL units would have been the old GYM. EL may have settles then for less expensive all Grey or maroon body as LV did. Remember LV C420's were Grey-Yellow-Grey similar to L&N and C628's were Black-White-Black. LV also owned Ex-Monon C628's.

From what I understand, the EL ordered some GP38-2's right before Conrail.
Obviously they were never in GYM paint, but when and where did they arrive?
Were they in delivered in CR blue and do they exist today?
