One of the 5000-series "Cool Whip" cars even got a one-of-a-kind all-white paint job with blue ends and lettering. It was a prototype car that CR rebuilt with satellite tracking for constant monitoring. I have photos of some of these at home that I'll post later tonight, hopefully. :) - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
