EMD an SW8 #267 working Sayre yard. Lehigh Valley had 18 of these unique engines built. The only SW's constructed with dynamic brakes. The "Pups" as they were nicknamed were equipped with MU controls and many related features allowing them to be used in multiples of 3 to 5 unit sets hauling anthracite coal in the Pennsylvania, Hazelton Branch area. Later #267 became Conrail #8681.
