Here are a couple of photos taken last month showing the progress on EL
diner 741. The first photo shows the installation of the simulated rivets
on the newly installed steel. The second photo shows that the vestibule cut
into the lounge end of the car during the MOW years has been completely
sealed up. You can also see the completely new roof that 741 now has,
perfectly replicating the original turtle hump roof.

Right now the inital work is being doe to prep the car for painting. It is
a critical time for the Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society as
we need to raise $30,000+ to finish prepping and to put the paint on the
car. We could really use any financial help readers of this list can
supply. If you are set up with Paypal, you can go to our website and
donate today:

Sunday, April 15th. You can join us by making reservations at this link:
