Description
The Erie Railroad was a major northeast US carrier, serving the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. From its founding in 1833, it operated independently until 1960 and was a very highly profitable line for many years. Like other eastern carriers, however, the Erie began a downturn after World War II, and in 1960 it merged with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (which served New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) 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 a "Script Certificate Representing Fractional Interest in One Share of Common Stock". It is dated October 17, 1960. The stock measures appx 12x8 inches and is printed on typical stock/bond security paper. It is in very good condition, with no rips or tears; all writing/markings are from its issuance and cancellation. It bears the customary cancellation punch holes.
A nice addition to someone's Erie Lackawanna collection.
