RE: (erielack) Strange ERIE logo

The answer can be found in the Nov. '90 edition of the "Extra Board".

"The "beetle" emblems were part of the restaurant chain that operated the 
beaneries along the line, and is known as the Erie Scarab design. In the 
Port Jervis NY & the Susquehanna, PA stations, the Union News Co. controlled 
the restaurants; the emblem from the Huntington, IN yard office door wound 
up on the EL President's desk in Cleveland, until Conrail (Measuring 24" x 
28", it is now in the door between the kitchen of Dave's [McWherter] home)."
