Re: (erielack) Tangent Gons, Observation & Question



Does anyone know how many of these gons would have gone straight from DL&W paint 
to Conrail?  I find this to be interesting.  I recall seeing some gons still in 
Erie paint, but I can't recall ever seeing a gon in original DL&W paint in the 
1970s.

Subject: (erielack) Tangent Gons, Observation & Question

Tangent has just released more schemes/numbers of their ACF gon including ex 
DL&W Conrail- new scheme.  I am familiar with the Conrail's practice of 
stenciling reporting marks of of predecessor roads on freight cars and cabooses 
when first painted, but upon reviewing the additional photos of the Conrail gon 
I see the "DLW ___" in the upper right corner.  Were we still not able to come 
up with EL painted examples of these cars?  I wonder what other cars never made 
it to EL and went straight from DL&W/ERIE to CR.
