THE CRESTLINE ROUNDHOUSE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

E-8 Photos



A special chartered passenger train, pulled by 2 fully restored Pennsylvania Railroad E-8's passed through Crestline on Aug. 2, 2004. Owned by Bennett Levin of Philadelphia, the E-8 diesel engines were returning from TrainFest 2004 in Dennison, Ohio.

We captured a few photos of this rare event, and are pleased to post them on our site. Below are the first in a series we are thrilled to present. Just click on the images for a larger view.
