EMC E2

The "A" unit of the LA set, LA-1, went to the Chicago and North Western (#5003A) and was scrapped in 1953 after it was destroyed in a head-on collision near Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

One of the nicknames that these locomotives acquired, because of these portholes, was "Queen Mary," after the British Cunard liner that was put in service about the same time.
