Now there's a pair you don't see together too often!

Agree totally. The engine change was fun to watch and you never knew what Penn Central or Conrail would throw together to haul a train south to Bay Head. In the 70s, they still have manual crossing gates, too.

The track the E unit is on is some piece of work. It took three E units to make the run to Bayhead because you could never count on more than two of them staying lit the whole way. I am making an assumption here.

I always wondered where those RF&P E8s went. Thanks.

No RF&P units in this shot. #4257 was PRR and #4022 behind her is Erie #833. And, yes, multiple E's were used with the hopes that at least 3 of the 6 prime movers would stay online for the whole run.
