Re: (erielack) EL and 40' Boxcars (2)

A number of them remain in service as storage containers for farmers and 
private businesses here in central OH...One can be seen from Interstate 71 
at MP 146.5 on the east side of the interstate, although the EL markings 
that you used to be able to see from the road, have all weathered away...
