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

Steve, Rich,

I guess my ignorant brain was just thinking that the railroad would
almost always want to use two locomotives on a through passenger
train for protection in case one breaks down, not that it would be
likely to happen where the EL was concerned.  Nevertheless, 
stuff happens, you know?

The photos with a single E8 that I copied were all  west of Marion.

Agree, but I don't recall that we ever took a unit off at Marion.  Perhaps 
AKR can comment on that.  I know we removed diners, extra coaches  and 
Mansfield mail cars to save terminal costs at Chicago but I don't recall  
cutting the rear unit off at Marion and adding it going east.  Not saying  we 
didn't but I don't recall it.
