Gentlemen-
Here are two more pictures of the same EL engine, this time at Bound
Brook/Raritan New Jersey on 8/15/73.

visible, all CNJ, most unlikely after 4/1/76 when CR promptly began
reassigning locos. So there is little reason to question the date. Also I
thought EL's RS's were all stored soon after C-day. I doubt an RS would be
in the SE-98/ES-99 pool; these were heavy trains on stiff grades, and all
the photos I've seen have second-generation power on these runs. Perhaps
it's assembling the return leg of a transfer job?
