Re: (erielack) Erie Centennial Train?

John,
We've never run an article on the Erie Centennial in The Diamond, although 
it would certainly be an interesting topic to develop an article on...

The only other resource I would suggest is to check the Erie RR employee 
magazine from the time period, as I would think there would be some writeup 
there about the train...
