List,

Here's an announcement of the formation of Dereco Inc in the Buffalo News on
April Fool's Day, 1968.

> I'm not sure when Dereco was dissolved, but N&W exerted some measure of
> control over D&H until at least 1979, possibly under Dereco. The holding
> co. persisted after EL was cast out in 1972 due to bankruptcy. There was
> actually considerable coordination of operations between EL and D&H, which
> increased after PC absorption of New Haven in Jan '69. There were three
> pairs of more-or-less runthrough trains at Binghamton, and D&H power was
> seen all over EL. One of the more consistent appearances was on
> TC-99/TC-100 (see Steve's runthrough power sheet). I have seen a single
> photo of EL power on a D&H train (at Tunnel NY), and I'm not sure how
> often EL units ran through.
