(erielack) Erie Diner 939
Earlier today John Boehner wrote:
"Erie Diners were numbered in the 939-947 series for
the Erie, then renumbered EL 740 to 747. All to my
knowledge, receiving GMY. At some point early in the
EL merger, Erie Diner 939 was stricken from the roster
for some reason. Does any one know why?"
I'm wondering, could this diner have been scrapped
after being involved in a derailment. I have only
fragmentary memory of a derailment in Ohio (?) in the
late fifties (?) caused by collision at a crossing
with a truck carrying eggs. I seem to recall that
there was one fatality, a immigrant woman, who was in
the diner. Can anybody substantiate this?
