Our new GP15-1s carry a new look with deep roots.

The black-and-yellow design was deliberately inspired by the early Erie Lackawanna Railroad while carrying forward colors long associated with the LA&L Family of Railroads.

We are proud to carry that heritage forward as these locomotives serve customers and communities across western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.

Explore the Erie Lackawanna history behind WNYP's new black-and-yellow GP15-1 paint scheme and its connection to generations of LA&L Family locomotives.
