Erie Lackawanna Railroad Collection: Inventory
Scope Note: This series is comprised of materials pertaining to the Railroad's Section 77 bankruptcy court proceedings, beginning in 1972, and subsequent reorganization and liquidation ending in 1991. The reorganization/liquidation process included the appraisal and valuation of all Erie Lackawanna properties, equipment, and assets. A large volume of real estate and other sales files are included in this series, as well as appraisal and valuation documentation. Also included are multiple drafts of the Company's Plan of Reorganization. This series also contains materials about the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 (3R Act) and Erie Lackawanna's inclusion in Conrail in 1976. Conveyance papers, government reports, and agreements relating to the 3R Act and Conrail are found in this portion of the series. Additionally, there are documents from miscellaneous litigation that took place throughout the reorganization/liquidation period.
The bulk of material in this series dates from 1972-1991. However, due to the nature of reorganization and liquidation procedures, there are materials dating from earlier time periods. For example, if the properties of a subsidiary or controlled railroad were being valuated, documentation might date back to the 1800's. Materials being used for research and reference during reorganization commonly date from years prior to 1972. This series, comprised of 94 cubic feet, is the largest of the collection. At this point, it has been processed primarily at the box level in an attempt to gain initial intellectual and physical control.
