Well, I don't know where they ended up, but I'll just say, I'd give my left nut for the 4022. Around 1974, I was lucky enough to get a very brief cab ride in E-L 833. That, of course became Conrail 4022. I was in Griffith, Ind. and a E-L local was switching some interchange tracks. My cousin had been there all morning watching trains, and around 10, or 11 in the morning this E-L showed up with 3 E-8's and stopped. The head end brakeman steped down, and walked back several cars to pull the pin. Being from Michigan, we had never seen E-units on anything except passenger trains. While the brakeman was going back, we walked alongside the 833, and started talking with the engineer. After some small-talk, he invited us up into the cab. We spent about 30 minutes in that magnificent machine, switching the various wyes in Griffith. When it was time for them to head east, we reluctantly stepped down the side rail. I will never forget that day though. <br /> Todd C.
