(erielack) Wine Cars

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

Interesting web page. The overall impression is that the NY Harbor rail
traffic was quite complex. EL must have lost a lot of money floating a
single wine car up to BTM. The intro refers to railcars being transferred by
"lighters"; I don't think this term includes carfloats, but refers to barges
(usually covered) that transfer freight. In other words, a carfloat is not a
lighter, correct?

While looking for info or pictures about Erie wine cars I found the above
sight.
The Erie wine ops are mentioned in Gordon David's narrative, about 3/4 down
the page.
Neat photos and stories.
