Paul B,

I am glad to hear this. Now, to make this post informative, here's some EL
info:

Henry and I have worked with TRAINS Magazine for several weeks on a "Map of
the Month" for Buffalo, NY circa 1942. After about two dozen revisions, I
think we got it right. As stated by Matt Van Hattem of TRAINS, this was one
of the most complicated maps he has worked on. Of course we paid extra
attention to the Erie and DL&W (and Buffalo Creek). It will appear in the
August issue of TRAINS. (I want to thank Bob Barr for referring TRAINS to
us)

Also attached are photos of boxcars EL 50947 and 54450, for no particular
reason, except that I like seeing photos posted to the List. These are some
of my early efforts. EL 50947 has the Erie's coal trestle in the background
and the diesel storage tank to the right. This is the coal trestle that is
written about in one of the recent articles just posted by Jon Liles. (I
want to thank Jon again, as his posts always contain more EL info than I can
absorb in a month)
