ERIE S1 307
Title:  ERIE S1 307
Description:  Erie Alco S1 307 at Lowe Park, approximately 52nd Street and Normal Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on April 11, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The S1 was built as Erie 307 in October 1946 (c/n 74962), classed SA-6 on the EL, and became BEDT 25 in 1968. Number 505 was built in December 1946 as Erie Alco S2 505, classed as SA-10 on the E-L.

EL RS3 1047
Title:  EL RS3 1047
Description:  Erie Lackawanna Railroad RS3 1047 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1951 (c/n 78577) as DL&W 909, it became EL 1047 (class MFSA-16D-4) after the 1960 merger, CR 5263 after the 1976 merger, and was rebuilt to DeWitt Geep 9994 during July 1978. As far as I can tell, the trailing S1 number 307 was not equipped for MU operation, so one assumes it had either failed on the road or was being delivered by the 1047 to some location where it was needed.

EL RS3 1047
Title:  EL RS3 1047
Description:  Erie Lackawanna Railroad RS3 1047 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1951 (c/n 78577) as DL&W 909, it became EL 1047 (class MFSA-16D-4) after the 1960 merger, CR 5263 after the 1976 merger, and was rebuilt to DeWitt Geep 9994 during July 1978. As instructed by the semaphore, they have stopped to pick up orders, which the hogger is in the process of reading as I snap the photo. As far as I can tell, the trailing S2 (307) in not equipped for MU operation, so one assumes it is being delivered by the 1047 to some location where it was needed.

ERIE S1 307
Title:  ERIE S1 307
Description:  Erie Alco S1 307 and EL Alco RS3 1047 stopped and picking up orders at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The S1 was built as Erie 307 in October 1946 (c/n 74962), classed SA-6 on the EL, and became BEDT 25 in 1968. The RS3 was built as DL&W 909 in April 1951 (c/n 78577), renumbered 1047 and classed as MFSA-16D-4 by the EL sometime after the 1960 merger and was retired in October 1976, rebuilt in July 1978 as CR DeWitt Geep 9994 by replacing the Alco Model 244 prime mover with an EMD Model 567 from a scrapped E8. As far as I know, the S1 was not equipped for MU, so this looks like the RS3 is assigned to move the S1, likely the EL needed a switcher somewhere in a hurry.
