(LVRR) Fw: Pittsburg & Shawmut SW9's on LV

["James E. Mack" <lvrr_@_enter.net>]

I got this e-mail about the Pittsburg & Shawmut RR locomotive leased by the
Lehigh Valley. This was after the CNJ gave up in PA on March 31, 1972. A
long with the Pittsburg & Shawmut RR engines there was BAR switchers and GP9
and N&W F7As. What he needs is the date of the lease and how long. You can
send that info to him send to me to send.
