List,

Surviving DL&W covered hopper #19525 may once again soon wear its original Lackawanna paint scheme if the group which owns it can successfully arrange for the supplies. After serving
for many years as the sand car in Hoboken, New Jersey Transit donated it to the United Railroad Historical Society, a non-profit preservation group, in the 1990's. Since that time,
it has continued to carry its NJT markings. Feeling the car should reflect its true heritage, several members of the group have expressed a desire to take on the task of restoring it to its
original appearance. For anyone who might want to find out more about this group (of which, by the way, the ELHS is a member) or might be interested in helping to make this project a success,
their website is:

Attached is a photo of the car as NJT 9701 while it was in Hoboken.
