The Erie-Lackawanna engine terminal at Scranton, Pennsylvania was a likely place to find anything on the roster, from EMD switchers to E8’s to U36C’s. When the road succumbed to Conrail, Scranton lost status and the yard quickly became a hub for local service and not much more. With the great Conrail motive power shuffle, former EL SW’s, GP7’s and GP9’s were still in residence, and similar power from other Conrail predecessors also appeared. Here one of two GP9’s from the Lehigh Valley roster and a Penn Central Alco switcher occupy a track in an area well known to current Steamtown visitors.
