RE: (erielack) EL working the Buffalo DL&W Terminal area in 1971

I rode the New York Mail from Buffalo DL&W Terminal to Scranton just before 
Christmas 1961, and returned on the Erie- Lackawanna Limited (arriving in 
deep snow trackside) in early January 1962. Later in 1962 and 1963 my trips 
used a new, small station built in the Erie Freight Yards.

I cannot recall the the exact date of the closing, but I believe it was 
spring 1962.
