"IMG_9721.jpg" - image/jpeg, 2000x1333 (24bit)





Attached is a photo taken by David Monte Verde yesterday of the cab of the future Lackawanna 959.

Note that the control stand is pretty much out of the 1952 EMD catalog, with schedule 24 brakes, and the ash-can throttle, pretty much the same as those on the F3s.

The DL mechanics will have a look at 5460 once it's over at the South Scranton shops, and in priority with other necessary shop work.

But this engine is a gem, gang, and very worthy of preservation. It was running the day its replacement arrived at the quarry, so its biggest problems should be from sitting more than a year as the mechanical work was done to make it interchangable. We'll soon see.

Yes, plans are being formulated for its restoration. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, if anyone has or knows of pictures of Lackawanna 959, EL 1278 or Conrail 5993 in service, we'd love to see them.
