["LARSON,MARTIN A." <LARSONMA_@_apci.com>]

Paul,
Picture is in Trains and caption reads, "former Lackawanna 850-859" Picture
credit is to J.J. Young Jr. Also a picture of EL #1855 on the Starrucca
Viaduct and 3 DL&W TMs leading a 78 car freight out of Scranton (or so the
caption reads).

Marty Larson
ELHS #3033

Ummm... I would assume the TMs were EL 1850-1859, not 850-859. And I would
also assume this photo is in Trains, not the FM "Lackawanna Story" brochure?
