Nostalgia & History > F-Unit Friday - EL 7081Date: 03/22/19 05:30 F-Unit Friday - EL 7081 Author: refarkas Here is another Agfachrome taken by an unknown photographer at an unwritten location.
EL 7081 and another EMD F3A unit were photographed in May 1971. The writing visible below the headlight has an arrow pointing to the receptacle and reads "This here reworked to match BN unit".

Nice job scanning and color correcting the tough Agfachrome slide. Gary Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/22/19 07:16 by gcm.

The EL Funits were rough riding SOBs' and the crews hated them when they got assigned to that run out of Taylor yard in Scranton, too hard to set out and pick up cars, plus they tended to sway more on the less than safe track on the line....but we fans loved them!! Thanks for the memory.
