(Just) A Roster Shot (25) - L&N
Author: refarkas

L&N 785 (EMD E8A) is leaving Cincinnati Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio in August 1970.

Thanks.

For those who don't know, L&N acquired the locomotive from SLSF.

Love the "paint over the portholes" effect. Very 1960's.

That is a nice typical looking L&N E8A .  The gray paint easily showed the dirt.
Thanks for the nicely composed roster photo posting.

The interesting thing about the L&N and the Seaboard Coast Line of this era is their passenger power looked a bit ratty and dirty, but behind those panels was a well maintained locomotive that would really run.

Excellent shot of that unit.
I always liked the L&N paint.
