RE: (erielack) FW: DL&W Sleeper Assignment (fwd)

My grandmother rode this train often from Cortland to Philly to get to and
from UPenn.  I too wondered what was on this train.  A friend told me they
used Reading Pullmans, but I haven't read of any.  I remember the RMC
article- but no mention of sleeping equipment was made. 

I too would be very interested in any further information.

Subject: DL&W Sleeper Assignment


      I am seeking information on the  assignment of certain DL&W leased
sleepers. From 1926 to about 1932 or  '33, there were  two heavyweight
12&1's assigned to Pullman line #  2174 (Binghamton to Philadelphia). It was
part of a joint venture with the CNJ and the Reading. The train that carried
the cars was the Interstate Express. Do you have any information on the
names of the  two cars ?
      Also do you have an E-mail address for a  gentleman named  Joe Welsh?
He did an excellent article in  Flags Diamonds and Statues  back in 1993 on
the lightweight sleepers  of the DL&W. The article also had good coverage on
some of the heavyweight  sleepers. I think Joe is probably an authority in
this area of DL&W history  ?
