  • @bismarck LOL! dumbbuff is not kidding, There are 103 preserved.

    Google " electric cars roster". Pick "Erie Lackawanna" out of "previously owned by". You'll get the list, 31 motors, 72 trailers.

    The trailers look just like coaches. The motors look a little weird but tourist lines used them anyway but most tore off the pantagraphs and traction motors.

    Show me a "coach" at a rail museum and I'll show you a Lackawanna car. Almost all say "Joe Blow Railroad" on the side not E-L.

  • man its about time these got some paint..last time i saw these was in a vid tht pentrex did on Metro North and the Empire corridor...they were very resty and in really bad shape....but its good to see tht they are getting fixed..great vid...and super awsome trains

  • There are 2MU's @ Northumberland, Pa yard. but they are in the back, on private property. Owned by North Shore Railroad. I have pix of them on my myspace.

  • You might well be!

  • I have A LOT of video of these cars while in regular service. Now if only I can convert them all to DVD I'd be in business.

  • The DL&W MUs ran from 1930 to 1984, before being replaced by NJ Transit's Budd/GE Arrow cars. Nicknamed "Edison cars" because they were built with GE (Edison Co.) electrical components and Edison himself was ceremonial engineer on the first trip, September 3, 1930.

  • 2 lackawanna MU's are going to be restored and displayed at NJT's hoboken terminal. Since they tore down the MU shed there they have to do the retoration these since they fall under some historic equipment deal.

  • New Jersey Transit is required to restore a pair after they demolished the old MU shed at Hoboken.

  • Has a Lackawanna MU ever been prevserved as a "Lackawanna MU"...I'm glad alot have been saved but they are paraded as something other than what they were. Seems they have became biggest protypical kitbash in history.

  • the a pretty dilapated station
