Re: (erielack) E S'burg Tower

Well, the colors in the photo in Larry DeYoung's EL In Color Vol 3 are
definitely green and red/maroon, and the caption dates the photo as Jan 21,
1976.  Bob Wise is credited as photographer. The other photo, also green and
red/maroon, is dated Sept. 9, 1975. Also a Bob Wise photo.

Perhaps Bob is thinking of the E Stroudsburg station? In an undated photo in
Vol 3 (page 44), and another photo on page 56 of Rich Pennisi's A Colorful
Look at the Erie Lackawanna, dated 1975, the station appears to be red (the
station is in the distance in both photos). I also have a separate photo
dated 8-19-74 in which the station is red.
