The EL maintained two rosters in the department I worked in. There was a Erie 
Roster and a DL&W roster. When I worked in the Scranton Work Equipment Shop 
in the winter of 1968 they had to make sure no older DL men were furloughed. 
We called Erie men or DL men even after Conrail.
By the time I was awarded the System Scale Inspector job there were no DL men 
on the Scale Dept Roster..... They had all retired. The last DL Scale 
Inspector was a fellow by the name of D. L. Johnson. He was called scalie 
Johnson.
