(erielack) EL Train Symbols



I have the Erie Lackawanna "Through Freight Train Classifications, Times and
Connections" book dated April 30th 1967. It lists the following information
for some of the EL Freights the list had been talking about. It also lists
every EL station and it's closest set off group both eastbound and
westbound.
