The Erie Lackawanna Railroad, later Railway, was formed from the merger of two historic rivals: Erie Railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. Though some mismanagement did occur in a similar manner to the ill-fated Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna's failure was down more to bad luck rather than anything else. From the sudden death of their principle innovator, to one of the worst hurricanes to strike the United States at the time, EL just could not catch a break. But they tried.

"The Erie Lackawanna Railway (reporting mark EL), known as the Erie Lackawanna Railroad until 1968, was formed from the 1960 merger of the Erie Railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The official motto of the line was "The Friendly Service Route". Like many railroads in the northeast already financially vulnerable from the expanding U.S. Interstate Highway System, the line was severely weakened fiscally by the extent, duration and record flood levels due to Hurricane Agnes in 1972. It would never recover. Most of the corporation's holdings became part of Conrail in 1976, ending its sixteen years as an independent operating railroad company."
