Title:
FEC E3A #1002 - Florida East Coast
Description:
A couple of admiring visitors view the new pair of 2000 hp E3A's built in 1939. According to Railwayclassics.com, "The inauguration of the Henry M. Flagler and The Champion in December of 1939 is frequently recognized as the beginning of dieselization on the Florida East Coast. Power chosen for each of the six car trains was EMC's early, slant-nose 2000 horsepower E3 units, numbered 1001 and 1002." The photo of the two E3A's - 1001 labeled "Henry M. Flagler and 1002 labeled "The Champion" - was taken by an unknown photographer.
