Pat,
Good to hear from you. I'm going to have to make a trip this summer to
Scranton.
Today I picked up a copy of Private Varnish. A lot of coverage on their
visit to Steamtown. See attached.
I always found stock handling extremely interesting, especially since
Buffalo was #2 after Chicago. I'd certainly be interested in any DL&W
Buffalo files, the earlier the better. I have some info on the Erie pens,
but nothing on the DL&W.
Thanks again,
Ron
