I recently saw a picture of EL SDP45 # 3639 at the Virginia Mus. of Transportation, and<br>I noticed a black EMD cab unit directly behind it. The unit appears to be an E- unit, but also appears to have<br>a freight pilot. Can anyone enlighten me as to what engine this is?<p>Thanks in advnace,<p>Phil<br>ELRRco@AOL.com<br>

The only E unit in the collection is Wabash E-8A #1009, which is also signifigant for bearing EMD serial number 10,000. I assume that the black paint was some sort of primer. The last time I saw her she had a normal pilot.<p><br>

The locomotive lists I've seen say that RF&P #1002 is at VMT also,<br>although I suspect that it would be in some kind of RF&P paint scheme<br>(some kind of blue and grey). What is the 1002's status, because that might shed some light on this mystery.<p>Phil<br>
