Some further notes on this HiCube Van.

Here is B&O's version of essentially the same Gindy HiCube.  They leased 
theirs from REAZ.

Trailer Lettering:  I think the 15 trailers in this ELZ series 
(200051-200065) were built sometime in 1963-64 and as delivered came 
with the large ERIE-LACKAWANNA (logo) PIGGY-BACK SERVICE lettering on 
panels fixed to the exterior ribs on the trailer sides.  The minimalist 
logos on 200052 might have been a later replacement scheme (perhaps 
following some maintenance and/or modifications).  In the early 60s the 
EL like most other roads plainly advertised their P-B service on 
trailers, but by the end of the decade moved to often a smaller 
rectangle or square with the name, logo and number positioned near the 
front of the trailer.  The many classes of EL trailers listed and the 
dearth of photos (especially from early 60s) makes this hard to verify.

More HiCube Vans:  Looking at my ORER (10-67), EL went on to acquire (or 
lease) 47 additional HiCube vans (207801-207847).  Don't have any other 
info on these (whether they were Gindys, smooth-sides or exterior post etc.)
