Re: (erielack) EL Caboose Trucks

["MIKEDC3_@_aol.com"]

Hi all,
I don't have much to add to this but... Remember the Trains mag. article from 
about 1985?? I think it was called "What's Left of the Lackawanna" or 
something like that.
  
   I lost my issue A long time ago but there was something in there about A 
wooden Lackawanna caboose laying in the Scranton yard's without it's trucks. 
There was A picture too. I don't recall if it was in DLnW or EL paint. Maybe 
someone on the list still has that article and can check?

 Three Lackawanna wood hacks were known to have received EL paint, the dipped 
 red scheme: C849, C838 and C818.  The latter was burned in Utica in EL 
paint. 
  The 838 saw some EL service on the Laurel Line. The 849 still exists, and 
 was recently sold at auction in South Williamsport, Pa., but offhand I don't 
 recall where its assignments were in the EL days.  (Anyone know who bought 
 this caboose, and their plans for it?)  The 849 also got modern trucks on 
the 
 EL.  Would appreciate knowing about any other DL&W wood cabooses that got EL 
 paint.
 
 The 600 through 754 were built on the passenger trucks, while the 755 
through 
 849 were built on Bettendorf T-section caboose trucks, identical to the 
 trucks on New York Central wood cabooses.
