Nostalgia & History > EL -Forgotten treasures

When I first started railfanning, I used High Speed Ektachrome push-processed to ASA 400 in my back-up camera. After switching to Kodachrome, I put the Ektachromes away not to be seen again until now. While these are by no means perfect, they show two sides of the EL that I rarely captured. I guess you could call these forgotten treasures.
Photo one: It's January 7, 1973, and EL 803 heads a westbound underneath the Interstate 76 bridge in downtown Akron, Ohio. Today there are only two tracks at this location.
Photo two: Westbound EL 3326 runs long-end forward (common for a short while) under the Akron Union Station walkbridge connecting the ex-B&O station and the Greyhound bus terminal in this 1973 slide.

I like the Greyhound shot.

The second shot is interesting since the U36C's were not equipped with dual control stands.

Definitely a double bonus with the EL and those old GM and MCI busses.
