Just looking over your EL photos. The Baggage car at Paterson was assigned to
the System Steel gang. It was used as their tool car. That car was held in
Paterson most of the time. I was a Work Equipment Repairman in at the Getty
Avenue Motor Car Shop. (1969/1975). Most of the Steel gang was from
Friendship, NY.

Thanks John.  I always wondered what it was doing there. - JJ

Erie C340 at Suffern, NY in August of 1994.  The caboose is named "Robert S. Fischer". Anybody know why? Is he the owner? Definitely not related to Bob Fischer of the Ginger Bread Shop (a CNJ fan).  I believe this caboose runs on the New York & Greenwood Lake Railroad with the RS and
switcher down to the Dundee Spur.

Friday, May 5, 2000 in Kennesaw Georgia, of all places!  (FYI, Kennesaw is
one of the busiest freight locations in the country, CSX).  I spotted an E-L
Hopper (33000 Series, I think), on a LIVE train!  E-L paint clearly visible,
diamond blacked out, but, most else intact.  It didn't look like it had ever
been painted over!  Quite a shock, on my way to work. Luckily, digital
camera nearby!  I have full side and end pictures.  I wish I was able to get
a little more detail, but, these pictures aren't bad!  Anyone interested,
I'd be happy to email copies!

Gary was good enough to share these three pictures from Georgia with us.
