Not sure about "pure" (i.e., non rebuilt) Erie or DL&W cars that survive, but I know of a few rebuilt (new sidesill) 40' EL cars that are still around - there was one at Altoona, PA (though it might be scrapped by now, but it was still around a few years back), and there's at least one on the property of the Valley RR Company in Essex, CT. I think there's also one that was repainted into EL colors by the Western NY RHS in Hamburg, NY. > I guess this probably has been discussed before, but did the > EL ever purchase 40' Boxcars new? Or were they all inherited > from the Erie and the DL&W? All EL 40' boxcars were inherited from the Erie and DL&W. By 1960, I'm not even sure if they were building 40' cars new! - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
