This is a great shot for diesel detail nuts! :) Yes, that plate is an example of "budget winterization" - many roads in cold climates welded temporary plates over part of their Geeps' air intakes. Several EL units had these, but since these were temporary (and only in the winter months), it's hard to pinpoint which units had them and at which times. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org To Unsubscribe: http://lists.elhts.org/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
