List,

I got a call last week from the present-day Union Dry Dock Co.
that they had two rail cars for donation and we were the group
(WNYRHS) to contact.

The boat LANDSDOWN is at their dock with two ex-Milwaukee
Road round-end observation cars which have to be removed
so the boat can be remade into a restuarant and towed to Toronto,
Canada.

I informed the president of the company that I just authored a
history of the drydock when the Erie owned it, 1870-1910.
He knew the drydock had a storied history but never that it
was owned by the Erie. He gave us full run of the yard. We
checked the condition of the cars and have yet to make a decision.

The yard still has track in it and could be reconnented to the
Buffalo Creek track if nescessary. The dry docks are filled in
but could be dug out. Work is now done at the river's edge.
This was my first time on the property as it was always well
fenced and guarded. The building dates from the Erie's days.
