List,

I came across a little article in the Wellsville Reporter of February 1,
1904 describing an automobile that President Underwood had fabricated by the
Erie shops for inspection trips he would take. It states he was an
enthusiastic "autoist." This is the only mention I ever ran into of such a
car at this early date. I do recall that in the 1950's there was a car
called the "Green Hornet" used by Erie management.

Attached is the article and a photo I came across years ago of an early auto
converted to an inspection car. It is sitting in from of Erie's Atlantic
depot, but I don't know if this was Mr. Underwood's car.
