These 50' gondolas with fishbelly sides and drop-ends are black with large, white 'Erie Lackawanna' letters and white lettering. They were built in May 1955 at Erie's Greenville Shops and run on black roller bearing trucks. The Erie-Lackawanna Railroad was formed by the merger of the Erie Railroad with the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western on October 17, 1960. A minor renaming occurred in late 1963 when the hyphen was dropped. Consolidated Rail Corporation took over EL's operations on April 1, 1976.
