Re: (erielack) Back to Milk Traffic



Mike,

Photo evidence suggests you would want to use the Erie Milk cars (series 
6650-6699), the ones with the outward swinging doors. They are available 
from Funaro & Camerlengo.  The earlier (series 6600-6649) were converted 
primarily to express service by adding an inside sliding door.  It 
doesn't seem to be the case that these were used from Steamburg 
(although these did get used in '63-64 handling milk from Beckers Dairy 
on the Sussex Branch).

See the former on the back end of #8 (EL Passenger Service Vol.1, p.96) 
in a nice photo of the two Steamburg cars.
