(erielack) EL caboose in Railpace - needs a new paint job - EL!

There was a posting here about the September issue of Railpace that showed a former Erie/EL caboose in use on CSX in the NYC area. I seem to recall a successful effort several years ago to have CSX paint an in use EL caboose in Marion, OH in red paint with EL logos. 
 
I would think that a similar effort should be made with this one - CR #21107, can't recall the Erie/EL number off hand. I don't recall the details of how the one in Marion was approved etc, but what does everyone think about trying to get another EL caboose repaint effort underway?

Subject: (erielack) Erie Caboose C233



I'm trying to get some information on caboose C233. I first saw this caboose in July, 2000 in Kent, OH and then again this past summer in Milan, MI. From what I can ascertain, it was built by Dunmore shops in 1945 or 1946, carried the same number throughout Erie and EL, and ended up restored in MI. 

What I do not know is the following. Did this caboose make it into CR? How did it end up in Kent, OH in Erie paint? Where did this caboose normally hang out on the EL system? Are there any pictures showing this cab in service?

I'm the President and newsletter editor for the Lehigh Valley Chapter NRHS and I'm wanting to do an article on this caboose.

Thanks in advance for your help and information on this caboose.

Regards,
Jim Rowland
