Hi folks,

Jay Held sent me these items from his collection and asked me to share them
with the list....

The first item is a list of EL's "specially-assigned equipment" (such as
depressed-center flats), issued Dec. 9, 1960.

The second item is a very interesting document (five pages in all)
describing the EL Piggyback Plan II/III 'Perishable Protective Service',
issued on May 12, 1961. It's a fascinating read on how the EL protected its
reefer trailer loads and all the machinations around that.

Enjoy, and thanks, Jay!

- Paul
