Re: (erielack) Early CR era EL in the 4-11-09 ABPR

It's interesting  that Conrail replaced the EL wood caboose (04942) on 
the Binghamton Wreck Train with an ex-Erie steel hack and renumbered it 
with the same 04942 (the wood caboose number).  I wonder what the 
original steel caboose number was (C-???).
