EL rolling stock

[NW Mailing List]

 I think Gordon's photo of the ferry dock pre-dates the merger, and lists two separate railroads that used the same ferry docks. And I think Gordon knows this, and is just messing with our brains. Fun!

I want to inform the group on this list that the railroad name in the previous post is wrong - the names are interchanged.  In this photo that I took some decades ago, note what is obviously the official name of the railroad on the ferry dock on the Hudson River (color courtesy of good old Ektachrome).  Photos don't lie. Right? The rest of the railroad world may continue using the wrong name, but at least our elite group will know what is correct.😉

  The Erie Lackawanna Railway was formed on March 1, 1968, as a subsidiary of Dereco, the holding company of the Norfolk and W estern Railway, which had bought the railroad. On April 1, the assets were transferred as a condition of the proposed but never-consummated merger between the N&W and Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Dereco also owned the < /span>Delaware & Hudson Railway at the time.

   From what I have quickly read, it looks like NW controlled EL for a while before it went into  Conrail whose rolling stock got divied up with NW getting some of it.  My question is, did any EL equipment ever get painted for NW? Thanks, Jim Cochran
