| Here is a post card via Peter Outerbridge entitled "Merger Mania." Caption On Reverse: "Merger Mania. Both of these EMD E-8's ~ Pennsylvania No. 4268 and Illinois Central No. 4032 ~ looked spiffy in this 1967 shot. Alas, soon both railroads became history (well sort of). But to the E-8's, it would only mean new paint jobs." At the left is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4268, an E-8 built by GM-EMD as number "5768" in April of 1952, rated at 2,250 horsepower, and renumbered "4268" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recroded. |
