Thanks Mike for the info. I'm still trying to find someone locally here that has more information. I'll keep everyone posted.

  Hi Rob,

I'm from Deposit and if it helps, my grandmother was from Elmira. I don't 
know about the Elmira bell but Deposit and Hancock also were given a bell by 
the Erie and the two schools competed in football for it for years. When I 
was in school 35 years ago it sat in the auditorium of Deposit having been 
finally won permanently after a number of years. A few years ago, I read in the 
Deposit Courier that the Deposit principal had put it back up for grabs 
between the two schools to help school spirit.

I assume the Erie gave them out to communities when they were changing over 
from steam to diesel. I'll see if my older friends might know when they got 
it.
