I find it interesting that EL hung on to the PA's much longer than other roads. There was no attempt to retrofit them with EMD prime movers. I never heard of many comments about ground-faults occuring on EL with the PA's or other Alcos as was reported on other roads. Did EL have a better maintenance plan for their locos, no matter who made them? On the Alco note, I'm wondering if the high point of their diesel manufacturing was with the RS-2? Things appear to have gone downhill from that time.
