EL PA1 854 |
| Description: |
Erie Lackawanna PA1 854 a little south of 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on January 9, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1949 (c/n 76912) as Erie PA1 854, it became EL class PA-20 854 and was traded to EMD for new power in 1969. Scrawled on the side are the words: DIRT TEST DO NOT WASH (not my writing), and it appears the test is going well. The Erie rostered 12 PA1's (#'s 850-661) and two PA2's (#'s 862-863), and according to the December 1986 issue of Mainline Modeler Magazine, "The Erie's twelve PA1's spent much of their early lives in joint P&LE Cleveland - Youngstown - Pittsburgh service, but even made trips to Dearborn Station in Chicago, albeit often trailing E8's. Their black and yellow livery gave way to green and gray and eventually to Erie Lackawanna's gray and maroon. In 1951 a pair of PA2's were added to the roster. By the 1960's the PA's had become freight haulers out of Marion, Ohio and survived in this service until at least 1968." |

EL PA1 855 |
| Description: |
Erie Lackawanna PA1 855 at about 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to an old City of Chicago map I have, this location was known as Lowe Park, approximately 52nd Street and Normal Avenue. The Erie and later, the EL had a small yard and engine facility at that location. This locomotive was built as Erie PA1 855 in September 1949 (c/n 77103) and retained that road number on the EL, classed PA-20. No longer in passenger service, it was re-geared for freight service, although the steam heat connection is still visible through the slot at the bottom of the pilot. It was traded to EMD for new power in 1969. |

EL PA1 856 |
| Description: |
Erie Lackawanna PA1 856 at Lowe Park in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. An unfortunate lighting situation. This locomotive was built in September 1949 as Erie PA1 856 (c/n 77104), one of 12 Erie PA1's numbered 850-861. They retained the Erie road numbers when they became Erie Lackawanna locomotives (class PA-20 on the EL), and at the time of this photo, the PA1's had been re-geared for freight service. All were traded to EMD for new power during 1969. |
