One thing I forget to mention when referring to the Jeep Cab-Forward high railers in the January 1961 EL magazine was an additional story about Perry Shoemaker. They had a picture of him with the announcement that he was leaving his Chairman of The Board position with EL to become President of the Jersey Central. I remember reading that Shoemaker was not very happy with the position he received after the merger. What exactly was his role as Chairman of the Board? I assume he was not involved in day-to-day management decisions of the company. I heard people say that EL might have been better off if he had assumed the role of president in the early 60s. Any thoughts on this? Ed Montgomery The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
