Nostalgia & History > EL ex-RPO lightweight car -- Dec 78Date: 06/25/17 08:38 EL ex-RPO lightweight car -- Dec 78 Author: gcm Ran across this Erie-Lackawanna RPO-baggage car at Warren,Ohio.
The Erie didn't have many lightweight cars - is this an ex-Lackawanna car? Gary    Date: 06/25/17 08:45 Re: EL ex-RPO lightweight car -- Dec 78 Author: CPR_4000 I think it's ex-Erie.

The date of that picture - 1966 - was the date of the oldest air date stencil on the car. Gary Date: 06/25/17 09:41 Re: EL ex-RPO lightweight car -- Dec 78 Author: ATSF3751 Yes, ex-Erie. Of course Erie went cheap on this car and specified standard bearings on the trucks. They received some baggage cars similar to this around the same time.
