The Erie served coal mines in Ohio and Pennsylvania. For many years they even owned both anthracite and bituminous coal mining operations in the keystone state. Within Erie’s diverse hopper fleet were these 1,000 70-ton offset side cars. Erie held their own in the busy Chicago - New York corridor against arch competitors PRR, NYC and B&O. Much of the Erie mainline was even double tracked. The Erie merged with the Lackawanna in 1960. This roadname will be available in 6 road numbers.
