Subject: Last chance for preservation? ERIE hopper
"P1014998_LR.jpg" - image/pjpeg, 3072x2304 (24bit)

About two years ago I posted photos of Erie / EL hopper at the Waddell anthracite colliery in near Jessup PA. The Waddell site is undergoing reclamation. Most of the structures and equipment have been demolished or scrapped. The winter months have put a hold on the reclamation work. The one remaining piece of equipment is the two bay Erie hopper with a faded remnant of it's EL paint. I have not heard of any preservation plans for the hopper. Has anyone else heard the fate of the hopper? It appears it's days are numbered.
