Ron,

Do your records state what numbers these cars were on the EL?

>At some point the lease got up to 150 cars to EL and 150 cars to LV. Some
>time around 1970 they were returned to the BCK. The fleet was in terrible
>condition and there were constant discussions as how to finance some
>rehabilitation. In July of 1974 the BCK sold 70 boxcars for scrap.In
October
>of 1975 another 134 were sold.

I'm not sure if the 1201 (pictured from my previous E-mail) was part of this
group. I've attached two more cars - 1202 and 1387, both very obvious
Meadville rebuilds, and the photos are taken in Nov. 1976 and Apr. 1977,
respectively. That's why I ask what numbers the EL cars series were on the
ones you're referring to.

These cars are obviously from a different group entirely...
