According to the LVRRMODELER website, the Lehigh Valley delivered 710 cars to Cornell University in 1969, 526 in 1970 dropping to 149 in 1971.
I assume that most of these cars if not all went to Cornell's central steam heat and power plant. If this assumption is correct, I have the following questions:
1. What type of coal (anthracite or bituminous) did Cornell's boilers utilize?
2. Where was this coal sourced?
3. What manufacturer(s) supplied eqipment for the plant (example: E. Keeler Co. of Williamsport, International Boiler Works of East Strodsburg, etc.).
5. What year did Cornell stop using coal?
6. Did Cornell generate its own electricity?
7. What type of fuel does it use now?
Thanks for your input.
