Restored Erie E8-A Numbers 834 & 835
This Photograph shows restored EMD E8-A Numbers 834 and 835, painted in the Erie Railroad Colors, near the Whippany Railroad Museum in Whippany New Jersey.
New York Central E8A Number 18534 was Built by the Electromotive Division (aka: EMD) of General Motors (aka: GM) in July 1953. It was later was operated by Penn Central, Conrail & New Jersey Transit as Number 4323. In November 1990, the United Railway Historical Society repainted it in the Erie Railroad Color Scheme (Green & Yellow) as number 834. It is planned to be restored as New York Central number 4076 for display at the New Jersey Transportation Museum, in Phillipsburg, NJ (if that museum is ever built due to the lack of funding).
I rode behind E8-A 834 on a Fan Trip thru Bergen County on the Main Line, when it was New Jersey Transit Number 4323. A few years later after the United Railway Historical Society painted it in the Green & Yellow Color Scheme, as Erie Number 834, I rode rode behind it on a Fan Trip from Hoboken to Bay Head, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania Railroad E8A number 835 was Built by the Electromotive Division of General Motors (aka: EMD) in May 1952 as PRR Number 5788A. It was operated by PENN Central and Conrail and New Jersey Transit as Number 4248. It was acquired from CONRAIL by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (aka: NJDOT) in December 1976 and used in Commuter Service by New Jersey Transit as No. 4248. It was rebuilt at the CONRAIL Elizabethport Shop in October 1979. It too was repainted in the Erie Railroad Color Scheme (Green & Yellow) but as number 835 in April 1991. It was used on New Jersey Transit's New Jersey Coast Line by the URHS for Fan Trips between Hoboken & Bay Head, NJ as Erie number 835. It is planned to be repainted as Erie Lackawanna Railway 835 for display at the New Jersey Transportation Museum, in Phillipsburg, NJ (if that museum is ever built due to the lack of funding).
