Re: (erielack) FTSB in RMC



I don't have the numbers handy but I think 6011,6012,6022 ,made it into EL 
GMY, could have been DL&W re-paint with EL diamond and letter added or full 
repaint, all I know is I saw them in Scranton with  A-B-B with last A 
unmatched in DL&W freight scheme. Have a slide here somewhere taken I think 
on a summer sunday in 61 or 62
