Subject: (erielack) Erie LTD consist

["The Foleys" <dafoleze_@_comcast.net>]

Hi Andy - I'd suggest referring to The Diamond, vol. 16.2 for Erie sleeper 
assignments.  According to the 1957 Official Guide, the diner-lounge ran the 
entire route.  These would typically be in the 939 series.

Coaches (photos seem to indicate two or three, at least at the Chicago end, 
sometimes with car for local riders on the end of the train) would often be 
the rebuilt heavyweights in the 1000 series, or the heavyweight 1100s. 
Thru-line Stillwells might also appear and I've seen a photo with a 
semi-suburban Stillwell as the local car arriving Chicago.

I imagine head end cars were variable dedending on time of year, day of week 
and location.
