PA-1's

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Hey, Harry!

The PA3s were used on the main line some but wound up on 45 and 46 between Bristol and Memphis.  There are photos of them elsewhere in a couple of the Southern color books.  The one you saw on 42 was unusual; as noted, they were mainly on the Streamliner.

They were a tremendous improvement over the DLs, which should give you an idea about how much better EMDs were . . .  

The electrician at Bristol used to let me crank 'em up prior to their going out on 45.

  EdK:
  Were Southern's PA-3s in captive service on the Knocksville Division ?
  I saw one on 42 at Johnson City in March '57, but nowhere else.
  Maybe they weren't intended to stray too far from the Chattanooga
  Diesel Shop.
