Description: The Erie Railroad was a major northeast US carrier, serving the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. It operated independently until 1960 and was a very highly profitable line. Like other eastern carriers, the Erie began a downturn after World War II, and in 1960 it merged with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna (EL). The Erie Lackawanna continued to have difficulties and became a part of Conrail in 1976. Surviving lines are now operated primarily by CSX and Norfolk Southern. For auction is an employee pass from the Erie, for the years 1916-1917. It was issued to officer of the Big 4 Railroad (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis). 1916-17 Erie Railroad employee pass - Big 4 Railway, CCC&StL Click images to enlarge Description The Erie Railroad was a major northeast US carrier, serving the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
