As a kid, I remember seeing Erie Lackawanna RS3’s when they were assigned as power on the Erie Lackawanna Bangor & Portland Subdivision. They had replaced H16-44’s that dominated the B&P since the DL&W days. When I was old enough to get trackside, the B&P was populated by C424’s, but I was shooting Instamatic print film. By the time I had a 35mm camera, the “good” power was gone, and GP7’s and GP9’s ran the Bangor & Portland. Looking at this 1976 portrait in Bangor, maybe the geeps weren’t so bad.
