Though this Westerner never had a chance to shoot the pre-Conrail eastern roads, I nonetheless became a "closet" fan of the EL, collecting quite a number of photos. Great scheme.

I remember seeing the E-L running west on the parallel PC track (welded rail, in-gauge, etc) while the E-L eastbound was battered. It was the worstmain line track I've ever seen, although this was in the early 70's.
