(erielack) Trainmaster Tribute

A friend of mine at work just put a copy of an August 1973 Trains magazine
on my desk. This issue contains an article called, "Trainmaster Tribute". A
small section is devoted to each of the railroads that owned them. The
Lackawanna writeup talks about the 12 Lackawanna TMs and how they were
Fairbank-Morse's first sale. FM put together an advertising brochure, "The
Lackawanna Story" where they told about TMs in Lackawanna freight, suburban
and passenger service. One of the b&w photos shows 10 Erie Lackawanna TMs
(#850-859) rounding a curve in Binghampton, N.Y. on June 24, 1968. They are
being led PA unit #852 en route to an equipment dealer. What an impressive
lineup! Does anyone have a scanned copy of this photo? Anybody have the FM
brochure?
