A couple more thoughts. The ACL fleet of E-6 power consisted of 22 E6A and 5 E6B units. All were delivered between 1940 and 1942. They joined the existing pioneer fleet of two E3A units. These A units E3 and E6 class did not have MU (multiple unit) capability on the nose. and they did not have a nose door sometimes critical to passenger service on long distance trains! An E3A or E6A always led a consist where possible when mixed with other passenger units including the E7, E8 and dual purpose FP7 models. The older Es were operated consistently on the flagship trains in RIchmond - Jacksonville - Tampa service. Only in the summer would you find E6 units on the hilly western lines.
