Additional Information

Erie and Delaware Lackawana & Western railroads merged in January 1960 to be the Erie-Lackawana.

In the new E-L numbering scheme, Erie cab units were re-#d by replacing the "alpha" characters with "numerics" 1, 2, 3 or 4, e.g., Alco-built FA-2 set 736A, 736B, 736C, 736D became 7361, 7362, 7363, 7364.

Abbreviations:

  • Alco - American Locomotive Company
  • BLW - Baldwing Locomotive Works
  • D&H - Delaware & Hudson
  • EMD - Electro-Motive Division of GM
  • LH - Lima Hamilton
  • NY&OW - New York & Ontario Western
