RE: (erielack) Re: EL fantrips

Al,

Looking through the stuff in my photo collection, here are some fantrips for
you. As I wasn't born when many of these were run, I can't add more info
than what was on the photo caption. :)  These DON'T include the myriad of
steam excursions the EL ran, nor does this list include Erie or DL&W trips.

These are chronologically arranged. Note that they ran at least one trip
every year from 1961 to 1968, then they died. Perhaps this is because the
steam trips became popular at this point?
