The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society's former-DL&W Budd "Phoebe Snow" Dining Car #469 is currently en route from Collierville, TN to Scranton, PA where it will once again serve delicious meals on the Friendly Service Route. The car will be riding rear-end-only (with possibly one additional car carrying the FRED) on Norfolk Southern from Memphis, TN, via Chattanooga, Roanoke, and the Shenandoah Valley Line, bound for Slateford Junction, where it will be interchanged to the Delaware-Lackawanna for the final leg into Scranton. ELDCPS is looking for photos of the car in transit to use on our website and in our publications. Please contact msteinberg@eldcps.org if you are able to get a photo of the car. For tracing, the car is reporting as RPCX 469 |

All-Points bulletin issued to numerous groups from Roanoke to central and northeastern Pa. Now, if I can just get someone in the northern Shenandoah Valley or around Shenandoah Junction...... The last-reported trip plan calls for the car to run from Sheffield, AL to Knoxville, TN on a 162, depart Knoxville on a 16T to Allentown, PA, and then H78 to Portland. |

It'd be pretty sweet if the diesel that pick it up on the DL are the former EL Alco twins |

Question: DL&W paint or stainless steel? |

Sandy -- Right now 469 is more or less "undecorated" - plain stainless steel, as seen in this photo from prior to her move from Collierville: http://eldcps.org/equipment/469/photos/ ... it_800.jpg |

Diner 469 also briefly wore Amtrak colors when owned by Butterworth Tours. Here is a link to that previous RYPN thread: http://www.rypn.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30161&hilit=butterworth+rock+island |

Just departed Roanoke at 12:50PM - midtrain closer to the rear. Shown below just prior to running under US220 south of Troutville.

Ugh... Tell me about it. I just made a flurry of phone calls, we'll see if this gets sorted out. Reminds me of the time they humped a restored PRR caboose that was on its way to our NRHS convention in Scranton back in 2010. Dave |
