EL PA-1 #852 - Erie Lackawanna
Title:  EL PA-1 #852 - Erie Lackawanna
Description:  Interesting mixed passenger train near State Line heading toward Hammond, IN. Unusual boxcar at the head end of two different types of passenger cars. Note the "strong arm" switch bars running quite a distance to the far left of the photo. Alco built this loco in April of 1949 as Erie 852. It kept the same number after the merger. According to one online source, it was finally traded in to EMD in 1969. Unknown photographer.

EL PA1 854
Title:  EL PA1 854
Description:  Erie Lackawanna PA1 854 a little south of 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on January 9, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1949 (c/n 76912) as Erie PA1 854, it became EL class PA-20 854 and was traded to EMD for new power in 1969. Scrawled on the side are the words: DIRT TEST DO NOT WASH (not my writing), and it appears the test is going well. The Erie rostered 12 PA1's (#'s 850-661) and two PA2's (#'s 862-863), and according to the December 1986 issue of Mainline Modeler Magazine, "The Erie's twelve PA1's spent much of their early lives in joint P&LE Cleveland - Youngstown - Pittsburgh service, but even made trips to Dearborn Station in Chicago, albeit often trailing E8's. Their black and yellow livery gave way to green and gray and eventually to Erie Lackawanna's gray and maroon. In 1951 a pair of PA2's were added to the roster. By the 1960's the PA's had become freight haulers out of Marion, Ohio and survived in this service until at least 1968."

EL PA1 855
Title:  EL PA1 855
Description:  Erie Lackawanna PA1 855 at about 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to an old City of Chicago map I have, this location was known as Lowe Park, approximately 52nd Street and Normal Avenue. The Erie and later, the EL had a small yard and engine facility at that location. This locomotive was built as Erie PA1 855 in September 1949 (c/n 77103) and retained that road number on the EL, classed PA-20. No longer in passenger service, it was re-geared for freight service, although the steam heat connection is still visible through the slot at the bottom of the pilot. It was traded to EMD for new power in 1969.

Title:  EL PA1 856
Description:  Erie Lackawanna PA1 856 at Lowe Park in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. An unfortunate lighting situation. This locomotive was built in September 1949 as Erie PA1 856 (c/n 77104), one of 12 Erie PA1's numbered 850-861. They retained the Erie road numbers when they became Erie Lackawanna locomotives (class PA-20 on the EL), and at the time of this photo, the PA1's had been re-geared for freight service. All were traded to EMD for new power during 1969.

Title:  The blessing and the curse.
Description:  Erie's right of way was in sparsely populated regions from Akron Ohio, west to Chicago. While we could fly out there, online business was limited. So in the end, it proved to be a curse that undid the once proud carrier.

Wabash PA-1 1050
Title:  Wabash PA-1 1050
Description:  Wabash PA-1 1050 at Council Bluffs, Iowa, February 9, 1964, photo by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in May 1949 as Wabash 1020 (c/n 77081), it was later renumbered to 1050. The following is exerpted from the book, "A Centennial Rememberance", by Richard T. Steinbrenner:

The 1947 order for 11 PA-1's by the Nickel Plate Road introduced the 45 degree angle number board on PA-1's. Nickel Plate's neighbor Wabash acquired a total of four PA-1's in May 1949 (delivered as #'s 1020-1020A, 1021-1021A, later renumbered 1050-1053), which joined a small fleet of E-7's already on the property. Through the years, the Alco's ran in multiple with the EMD's in service to St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, and Detroit. In later years, the Wabash PA's lost their striking blue-gray-white colors for a more spartan all-blue with gold stripe. The PA's lasted into the N&W merger and were traded in to Alco by the N&W in March 1965 for new power. One unit had been wrecked, and the Wabash obtained one of the ex-Nickel Plate PA's to be cannibalized to rebuild the wrecked unit. This effort was terminated by the N&W merger.
