(erielack) RE: Photo of ex-EL SD45-2s on garbage train....

  Thanks for posting the link to the photo of Train 65J. That is a wonderful early Christmas gift, snow and all! Just think what you are really looking at is EL 3681 and 3674 still hard at work, with a little imagination the containers on that garbage train could look like piggyback trailers just like EL wanted them to haul! 
 
  These two locomotives were together back in May of this year, here's a photo of them crossing the Raritan River bridge near Perth Amboy. Notice these SD-45-2's still retain most the their low profile fans on the roof! Again 1705 is a prime candidate for preservation... it is the very last engine purchased by the Erie Lackawanna.

A pair of former EL SD45-2s still on mainline freight, 37 (!!!!) years after
their construction.
