A Bergen County Line train is shoved from Radburn Station. I had ridden it from Ridgewood. U34CHs were known as Bluebirds and had shaft driven HEP, which took 170 hp, leaving 3430 for traction. I was told that the first night U34CHs were parked in one of the EL Yards (1970 at Woodbine) they spread the rails and ended up on the crossties. #3380 was delivered 1/73 and was retired in 1996, sold to GEC Alstom, it went to Mexico reappearing dead in the US in April 2006 (see pic 141613).
This gallery contains photos of equipment and properties that became, were and used to be part of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. This gallery also contains photos of equipment paying tribute to the EL or its predecessors.
