While some folks are not fond of these locomotives, they do have character and provide something unique for rail photographers to find. My girlfriend, who was with me when I shot this, agrees with me that this is a stylish locomotive. The SD60E class leader rests with a Union Pacific D9-40C (leased, not pictured here) after pulling 12M into town. This unit would then be trailing power for 11M the following day. On the left is the ex-Erie yard tower, which is now used by NS for changing crews. As of the date this photo was taken, all three SD60E's have now visited Meadville. Visit the link below for a photo of the brand-new 6902 and 6901 leading 11M out of Meadville Yard west towards Youngstown:
