List,

A few weeks ago we were discussing poling cars. I happened across some more info on these. It appears the Erie had six such cars prior to 1900. In the 1901 renumbering of all Erie rolling stock, the poling cars were put in the number series 03420 to 03439.

In 1907, four cars were numbered 03422 to 03425. Later that year, the number on the roster was reduced from 4 to 2.

Buffalo and Port Jervis definity had poling cars. Attached is a drawing of a poling car from the 1913 Erie Equipment Roster from George Elwood's Fallen Flags site.
