The E's were the dogs in the mountains. Despite the 244 engine problem, the PAs were also vary good on the plains as they could out-accelerate almost everything else. This made them particularly good on secondary and mail trains that had to make a lot of stops but keep a tight schedule. So those PAs you see being used in that capacity were there for a very good reason, and not because they were dogs. <br /> <br />Also don't forget that the SF Chief was regularly assigned PAs, and it had to deal with the Tehachapis.
