To all ELDCPS members, listers, ELDCPS has a deadline of March 15 to make final payment and complete our purchase of former Phoebe Snow Diner 470/770 from American Orient Express. We have successfully raised over half the purchase price so far. But since the first of the year, donations towards the purchase price have not been coming in as we would have thought. ELDCPS needs your help. Please consider sending a donation as soon as possible. No donation is too small! We need to raise an additional $5,000.00 to put us over the top. When we committed to purchase former Erie Diner 741, dedicated Erie enthusiasts assisted us in raising the purchase price in record time. We need to have just a little more support from our Lackawanna friends! Diner 470/770 will be restored as Lackawanna 470, and we want to make certain this becomes a reality. As all of you are aware, our mission and vision is to restore an Erie Lackawanna through passenger train for all of us to experience. We believe that we have made excellent progress towards this goal in a short period of time. We are the only nonprofit in the country that is attempting to restore a consist from the 1960s, and we are all fortunate that this will be an Erie Lackawanna train. As a nonprofit we rely on donations and grants. Lets make sure that Diner 470 is restored as a Lackawanna Phoebe Snow car. Would we want anything less? To donate log onto: Click here: Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society or send your donation to ELDCPS, PO Box 5821, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.
