I also like the sign, " GET WISE, SAFETY-IZE" Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/21/15 06:25 by TexasRocket.

I thought the Eries and C-Liners had generally similar nose shapes other than the C-Liners' being much shorter. Then again, maybe I've not seen one of those from this angle.

ALLEN Date: 05/21/15 09:51 Re: mFile: NYC Erie Built A #5000 Author: raytc1944 Yes, we used the R motors and the tri-power engines. The tri-power units had 3rd rail shoes and
a Diesel engine that charged batteries to allow the engine to operate on sidings that did not have 3rd rail. Date: 05/21/15 10:11 Re: mFile: NYC Erie Built A #5000 Author: rantoul Was the red structure some sort of tower, appears to be between the train's rail and curving spur?
