The P&LE used the 1500's as road units all the time, but I don't recall seeing one as a lead unit. You knew that the P&LE was a part of PC until it broke away at the advent of Conrail

There is a photo of one leading on a Chicago run-through on the Norfolk & Western in northwest Indiana in Pittsburgh & Lake Erie In Color Vol. 1.

It's definitely one of the better Morning Sun releases. The first volume covers the independent years and the second volume covers the subsidiary years. If you're a fan of the black and yellow years or of Rust Belt railroading in general it's worth a buy.

Charlie B.- I insist you mail me your entire photo collection. You're my favorite rail photographer. True grit. Hats off to you. I really enjoy each treasure you post.

Regrads,

This one doesn't show a train in snow - lights on the inbound train was too bright for me to get a good shot with my cell phone camera under these light conditions.

But at least it is a wintry looking railroad related photo :-)
