EL NW2 working in Akron
Author: gcm

Dec 1975
413 (built in 1948) is doing some work in the McCoy Street yard in Akron.
Two Erie Lackawanna main line tracks to the right with the B&O further right.
The B.F. Goodrich plant is in the background.

EL 413 survived into Conrail and became the Blue Mountain & Reading Railroads very first locomotive in 1983. On the BM&R it was numbered 413 and later R&N 1000. Unfortunately, instead of being preserve it ended up being scrapped at Pittston. History lost.
