The E8 was the ninth model in the line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units. Starting in September 1953 at total of 21 E8As were built which used either the 567BC or 567C engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn profile the front of the nose of E7, E8, and E9 units is less slanted than earlier EMD units, and E7\/8\/9s (and their four axle cousins, the F-unit series) have been nicknamed “bulldog nose” units. Earlier E-unit locomotives were nicknamed “slant nose” units. After passenger trains were canceled on the Erie Lackawanna in 1970, the E8s were re-geared for freight and were very reliable for the EL. These units were on freight trains until the early years of Consolidated Railroad Corporation (\"Conrail\").\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Transportation Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50612993622181,"sku":"ece1791435149553","price":10.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3581\/4053\/files\/pennsylvania-rr-prr---e8-keystone---license-plate_1.jpg?v=1791435156","url":"https:\/\/www.velvixor.com\/products\/pennsylvania-rr-prr-e8-keystone-license-plate","provider":"Solivex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
