The Erie was a 6 foot gauge railroad from its founding 100 years ago until 1871. In that year standard gauge was adopted, and the first engine to be delivered was the "Waverly," a proud ancestor of today’s Alco-GE line.
174 Alco-GE diesel-electrics-the largest fleet of any builder-maintain Alco-GE’s reputation for the best in motive power. On them falls the burden of work, such as hauling this fast "Flying Saucer" freight, with its second morning delivery on the New York-Chicago run. Alco-GE locomotives are helping to keep the Erie progressive as it enters its second hundred years.
