Re: (erielack) ES99/SE98
I chased more than a few of the 99's and never saw a consist like that.
That certainly is a rare one! Thanks for the explanation of the switching
of power, as my initial question upon seeing that consist was how they
would have made it to Scranton, unless they used pushers from East
Stroudsburg. Those were the days!
