Rich,

I was wondering if it was an equipment move of an EL business car, but based
on the roof details, I'm trying to figure out WHICH car it was. Based on
the date, it would have to have been the 1 or 2 (since the 3 and 300 stayed
to the end, and the former DL&W cars were already gone).

Looking through my collection, and based on the roof details, this appears
to be the 1. This car ended up in Warwick in 1973, so it's certainly
plausible that it went west to Bethlehem on the CNJ and then up the L&HR
(not sure why the EL couldn't have interchanged it at Greycourt?)

Oddly enough, the car was on the move again in May of 1976, being
photographed in Bethlehem. Anyone know where it ultimately ended up?
