Nostalgia & History > A "Cool" EL Photo for These Hot Days and NightsDate: 05/25/16 20:10 A "Cool" EL Photo for These Hot Days and Nights Author: refarkas EL 818 is westbound under the B&O Akron Union Station walkbridge. It is the late 1960's in Akron, Ohio, and I am on the B&O platform looking northwest at an EL passenger train as it approaches EL's Akron passenger station. There is a good chance this is either around Thanksgiving or Christmas as there are three E-units, and snow is blowing through this scene.
