Here is another one from a day of Erie Lackawanna railfanning with Mike Ondecker. EL Alco PA1 No. 856 is in Kent in 1967 or 1968. The PA was one of the two westbound-facing locomotives in the lash-up with the other one also being a PA.
I can’t remember which was in the lead, but one of the two had no heat in the cab while the other had a cab window that would not close.
The two engines swapped places, and the second was put in the lead. A very unhappy crew made its way west.
