Re: (erielack) Mystery car?
Paul,
I can't verify if they ever had any ex-REA rail cars - but there was an
Inmont Ink Company. It was contemporaneous with the EL and operated in most
of the US - including New Jersey and PA. We used their inks at our plant in
Bucks County, PA - truck service only. It was later bought by BASF.
