(erielack) Cleaning the closet of EL & DL&W & ERIE stuff



A while back, I decided to sell some of my stuff I'd accumulated in 35 or so 
years of RR service.....
1. Best of all was an ERIE dispatcher trainsheet for the Susquehanna Division 
(Susquehanna to Port jervis) dated 1931. Herbert Hoover was president, 
prosperity was just around the corner and every engine on the sheet was 
STEAM. 14 passenger & milk trains each way daily!!! This sheet is BIG  & will 
be sent in a heavy mailing tube to protect it. 1st $50.00 takes it.
2. Erie-Lackawanna Scranton Division trainsheets  (mid 1960s- still have 
Phoebe Snow on the sheet)  This sheet also has the S&U div'ns & the Bloom as 
well as mine runs -HUGE (app 20x60 inches) $20.00 + $5.00 S&H
3. Bangor & Portland Division trainsheet (1966) The last years as a separate 
entity and indeed it was once a separate railroad. Smaller (18x36 inches).
