Description:  It was still possible to find Erie Lackawanna equipment knocking around the Conrail system, but a real treat to find it on the EL. Most of the cars still in service by this time were the 1972 Bethlehem 77 ton hoppers, so this 100 ton grain hopper at the Binghamton Agway was a nice surprise.
