Re: (erielack) NS Looking for two Erie or EL Switch Locks with keys.

["Michael Dye" <luxpan_@_hotmail.com>]

After rummaging through G'pa's notes/photos, it appears that the signal 
cases on the Erie (At least on the west end, in Signal Gang #51's territory 
[Huntington and points west]) were secured with a mixture of locks. I've 
seen evidence of the Yale padlocks with both cast and stamped Erie marks 
(EL, stamped only) as well as the screw-type (Rayco?) locks with at least 
three different key shapes (Triangle, hex and square).

Now, as far as my "giving" my locks & keys to NS...(Pause for evil maniacal 
laughter) Not in this or any other lifetime!
