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 sale is a common stock certificate from the Erie. It is dated October 11, 1957 and is for 36 shares. It has a very ornate vignette. The certificate is printed on stock security bond paper.

This item is in excellent condition, with no rips or tears, only the customary cancellation punch holes. All writing/markings are from its issuance and cancellation. There are two very faint fold lines.

A nice addition to someone\'s Erie collection.
