The book states that the third E-8 was for the locals. As I mentioned
earlier, it would appear that the RS-2s were used on 213/214 only
until the E-8s arrived.

But that would not explain the apparent multiple photographed
appearances of RS-2s on the Newport local ca. 1950 which was after the
E-8s were delivered. Of course it's possible that the photographer
only shot the locals when an RS-2 was subbing for an E unit because of
the relative novelty.
