(erielack) Does anyone know the history of the EL boxcar on S. Washington in Scranton?



Does anyone know the story of the EL boxcar on South Wahington in Scranton?
I was just asked this question by my boss the day before I go on a week
vacation.

The piece itself has windows and doors cut in it.  It is painted
Erie-Lackawanna, but has no numbers on it.  The trucks are stamped "Erie"
and you can barely make out the number "75186" stencilled underneath.

So now I am going through an assortment of books to see what I can find,
but I know from experience if I need a little piece of EL info, this group
usually has it.

As always, any help is appreciated.
