Re: (erielack) FW: Erie artifacts ??

The EL was formed by the merger of the Erie and the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western.  The Erie had several names during its life, such as Erie Railroad and Erie Railway.  This was due to bankruptcies, mergers, reorganizations, etc.  It allowed the railroad to legally change its name without confusing its customers and suppliers.
 
This list covers the EL (which existed roughly from 1959-1976, although the exact years depend on which specific event you consider the begining and the end), the Erie in all incarnations going back to the 1830s, and the DL&W back to its beginnings in the 19th century.  Precursor railroads such as the Atlantic and Great Western are fair game, too.

Schuyler, 
  I neglected to note that I searched for the records at the Smithsonian, but didn't seem to find what was discussed. The link I provided, though, noted that it covered some Erie Railroad records, too, so I passed it along as an FYI: 
 
"Railroads represented are the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, Piedmont and Northern Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, Takata and Company Railroad, Philadelphia and Western Railroad, Sorocabana Railway, and Erie Railroad Company" 
 
Is the Erie Railroad Company different from the EL?
