Welcome to the official web site of the Erie Lackawanna Historical Society, Inc., a historical society dedicated to preserving and disseminating information about the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, the Erie Railroad, the Erie Lackawanna Railway and related lines.

Our mission is for this web site to be a useful asset to our members as well as a valuable research and reference to those interested in the history of the DL&W, Erie and Erie Lackawanna.

If you have information, documents, photographs or other ephemera relating to the railroads we cover and would like to share it with others with a similar interest through this web site, we encourage you to do so. We do request that prior to submitting any information you contact the webmaster via email using the link at the bottom of the page.

Special Note About Former Railroad Employee Records: The Erie Lackawanna Historical Society does not have access to or maintain in its Archives employee records from the DL&W, Erie or Erie Lackawanna. Two web sites that might prove useful to those in search of employee records are the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board web site and for former Erie Railroad employees and a possible lead for former DL&W employees, Jim Sponholz's web site pages dedicated to helping find former railroad employee records.
