So the  Erie men don't feel left out, any guess where this image of some 
Alco PA's was  taken?

No doubt about it---P&LE's Smithfield Street Station taken from the  
walkway on the Smithfield Street Bridge.
 
What IS abnormal about it is that most of the Cleveland-Pittsburgh trains  
used only one PA; either an Erie or a P&LE.  When the P&LE retired  their 
PAs, the train began to change power at the Erie Station in  Youngstown.  The 
Erie side used Alco RS-2s or the Baldwin #1140, the  P&LE used one of their 
GP7s.
 
Which brings about an long nagging question:  Did and Erie E8s ever  
operate over the P&LE to Pittsburgh?  I've seen many photos of the PAs  on the 
P&LE but never the E8s.  They must have been strictly  NY-Chgo.
