RE: (erielack) Latest Diamond - Single E-units on passenger trains

["Joshua K. Blay" <mail_@_joshuakblay.com>]

Syracuse branch trains, when hauled with an E unit, would always rate a
single unit, it's only a few cars mind you.  When hauled by F3s it was an AB
set.

The latest issue of the Diamond shows the Lake Cities on the cover with a
single E8 for power. This is only the second time I've seen a photo of the
train powered by a single unit. Was this a rare occurance, or just a seldom
photographed occurance? 
 
Also, inside shows an EL business train also with a single E8 - the still
extant 833. I don't recall ever seeing an EL business train with a lone E8.
(Conrail was a different story) Assuming the consist is 833, Spirit of
Youngstown, and business cars 3 and 300, all the equipment in the pictures
is still extant.
