RE: (erielack) Fire Damaged Cars
Thanks for this information. I believe most of the Erie rebuilt diners used gas. One of the parlor-diners was listed as using charcoal. I suspect the Budd Kitchen-Diners were all gas. One thing that is not clear: Did EL restore the Diner to service after the wreck? There seems to be a question as to whether it was scrapped or not. There was a picture of the "Hospital Extra" in Trains in the mid-60s showing a GP7 pulling a mix of passenger equipment including some MU power and trailer cars bound for Meadville - I believe. However, the MU's were restored to service as far as I can tell. One of the DL&W 300 series coaches burned and that was scrapped. There is a listing of all of this in an old "BLOCK LINE".

Is there any more information on this wreck?

Here is a newspaper clipping (Scr.Times 2-10-61).
Were all Erie/DL&W diners using bottled gas (propane?)in EL days? I guess coal stoves were long gone. The tank is underneath the car,(correct?)
