EL E8 824
Title:  EL E8 824
Description:  EL E8 824 at Newark, New Jersey, June 1965, exact day unknown and photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as Erie E8 824 in February 1951 (c/n 12222) on EMD Order 2027A, it retained the Erie road number on the EL, classed as PE-22. It later became CR 4013, was retired in January 1978 and scrapped by Naparano in October 1979. In the background is 'blue coal', that's how it appears on the building to the left, single quote and lower case spelling. I'm not sure if that was a brand name, or if they actuallly sold coal that was a blue color. Someone might leave a comment if they know what 'blue coal' was.
