EL Hopper

FYI, as of Sunday 8/1, there was an Erie Lackawanna hopper car parked on the old team track in Geneva, NY. The track is off Exchange St and led up to the Lehigh Valley Freight House, now a restaurant and card shop.

The great thing about it is that there's been no improvements made to the car at all, it still bears EL reporting marks and numbers, etc. Rusty, but cool!

SD40,
wheres the pictures?!

I'll try to get some - I think it might be in ballast service actually, since not much really comes into Geneva in open-top hoppers other than ballast.

fglk, where have you seen a former Bath and Hammondsport boxcar?

Former Bath & Hamondsport Boxcar was spoted in Geneva, NY on the Finger Lakes Railway there are 3 cars that show up on occation I got a pic of one of them about a year and half ago. I my self did not beleve that there were any of there cars left this one is a light ghost gray color 50' Single Door Boxcar The car was painted out but the Tiped Wine glass logo bleed threw the paint. I'll have to dig up the pic and get the new owners reporting marks and road number.

OK is it a 2 or 3 bay hopper, and what is the number?
