Overview:
The E8 and E9 were the face of passenger trains for decades. Solid and reliable, these E's even found their way into freight service on many roads. Some of the best-known railroad liveries graced these models and never looked better. Each pair of locomotives includes two powered units with smoke, lights and sound in the lead unit. Road specific details include pilots, Mars lights and rooftop details. The Aberdeen Carolina & Western is a great local line in North Carolina that takes great pride in their work and their equipment. Trains like this are a shining example of the extra-mile short line railroads go to make their customers happy.
