Re: (erielack) New EL and Erie prototypes!!!!
I believe that was the reason, because the EL scheme is the DL&W scheme.
This project has been bubbling through NS for a couple of years. We
(ELDCPS) were asked about this a year or so ago. At the time I was told
that a couple of the decision makers really liked the Erie's two tone green
scheme. A little over a month ago they asked us for diagrams and paint
colors which as Paul mentioned he was able to provide.
I do know that there are DL&W fans in Norfolk. There is a large poster
there of a Jim McClellan photo of Lackawanna FM's going through the Water
Gap. Hey this is better than Penn Central instead of Pennsy.
