Charlie,

That looks like an Erie Lack-a-money SD45 2nd up, but whose U25 is #3?

In answer to squids question here is the next shot. I guess it works too because it's a Conrail.

Another SD 45-2, Horseshoe Curve August 1990 . Didn't all the EL SD 45-2's have their horns mounted on the engineers side of the roof?

According to what I read, All the horns on the SD45-2's were changed from the engineers side, to the front and center below the roof line. This was so they could operate in Cleveland coal service(Why?.Wasn't explained). The pictures Charllie posted must of been taken just before Conrail renumbered the unit. Here's a pic of the same unit, renumbered by Conrail.
