E-Unit Countdown - EA
For the last image in this series, we have the one that "started it all" - the very first E-Unit ever built. As the first streamlined passenger diesel not to be integrated with its trainset, B&O EA 51 is one of the most significant members of the early diesel era to survive into the modern day, and it now has a restoration equal to its place in history.
It really does boggle the mind to see this one out in the sunshine, looking every bit as perfect as it did in the publicity photos taken of it by EMC and the B&O back in 1937. It's no hyperbole to say that this is among the best and most thorough restorations of an American locomotive, ever.
