(erielack) DL&W and RDG info was Re: [milktrains] LV Milk Cars
Hi friends,
I spent another enjoyable day at the RR Museum of PA archives yesterday. My
main focus was some more research on Marconi's work on the DL&W for the Info
Age Science Center in Wall, NJ. I was not disappointed. WOW!
Anyway, on the milk car front, I have yet to spend a day there specifically
for milk car research but Kurt Bell has me anxious to do so.
There is a Reading collection in house right now which apparently has all
the car records for the Reading's small milk fleet.
I did start going through some of the DL&W milk car materials. A very
interesting negative of milk revenues on the DL&W piqued my interest. I did
not have time to really dive in.
I recommend a visit to the archives for anyone working on DL&W topics. WOW!
Rob
