E-L Trailers....in 2006 !

Spotted on the Susquehanna forum. Hope the author doesn't mide me pasting the links here.

On the way back from Phillipsburg, I stopped at the TA truck stop and found 2 former EL trailers being used for storage. Unfortunately the truck stop had two leased trailers in front of the EL ones so photos of the logos on them will have to do.

The logos on the rear are faded but still in place even after 30 years!!

Remarkably good condition over 30 years !

There is or was an E-L 40 foot Trailer on the South Side of DeWitt Yard back arou d October/November of 2000 just kiddy corner to the East of the Car Repair Shop where the Departure Yard is. It had been removed from its frame and only the Van Section set on the ground. It was White with a Yellw Stripe down the side with an E-L Logo in Mroon and Black with EL in Yellow Letters on the Logo with Erie-Lackawanna in Mroon letters across the Side.

I had asked people that I know if it was still there but no one seems to get back to me on this.

There are EL trailers and two EL boxcars in full paint in the former Conrail yard in Springfield, Mass.
