Regarding basketball, I have attached a photo you might find of interest
from the Steamtown Collection, front and back. Look closely at their
shirts.

We need history, not to tell us what happened or to explain the past, but
to make the past alive so that it can explain us and make a future
possible.-Alan Bloom

Please respond to
"EL Mail List"





We've recently discussed baseball and football specials that operated on
the
Erie and EL but today I found information on a BASKETBALL special.

My newly acquired copy of the Erie Magazine for March 1952 gives the
following information:

Students and fans from St. Bonaventure's College in Olean, NY followed the

basketeers to many of the games on Erie trains. For example, nearly 500 of

the fans rode a special Erie train from Olean to New York City's famed
basketball arena, Madison Square Garden Feb 13 to cheer the Bonnies in a
crucial
encounter Feb 14 with St. John's University. The Bonnies lost 59-56.

No other details were given as to the train, schedule or return trip.
