Re: (erielack) EL 3670 today!

   Bob,  U remind me of the article on the ' Company Bull' in the LVRR days 
called 'Quick draw McGraw' who would pull his weapon on the train bufs found on 
the premises at Oak Island. I reflect on all the great fotos missed because of 
guys like that & thank heaven for the guys who took chances. When i worked as 
operator on the mahoning Division, one of the dispatchers told me he got picked 
up by the Reading RR cops in the Rdg. Terminal and had his camera confiscated 
even tho he told them he was a dispatcher on the ERIE RR. I wandered around the 
terminal in the mid-60s and took a few rolls of B&W so I guess I 'lucked out'.

Todd: Your're a brave man for going down to Oak Island engine terminal! I was 
there many years ago with a friend and it's not exactly in the nicest of 
neighborhoods; and Conrail did not like us hanging around although they didn't 
seem to mind it too much when we were in the parking lot by the yard.

Thanks very much for posting those!

  Idling away in the aftermath of the Blizzard of 2010, enjoy a few views of a 
former Erie Lackawanna SD45-2 3670. The unit was located at the former Lehigh 
Valley Railroad, Oak Island engine terminal. You will notice Norfolk Southern 
1701 retains all but one of the unique "Low profile" fans EL had it delivered 
with back in October 1972. From the looks of the snow I guess this engine has 
not moved since Sunday night!
