Dear Mr. Simon,
#201750 is the one extended height car the E&LS owns. Dean Sauvola caught it in Ontonogan in December last year, and judging by the lack of "tagging" (graffiti) on it, it has not made a trip to the Smurfit-Stone facility in Chicago yet. #'s 101635, 101860, and 201750 are the only cars that have the full heralds, and 101635 has been heavily sprayed by taggers as of September 2008. Photos of it as late as 2004 showed it in good shape. 101635 and 101860 have the lettering in different places. Photos of both cars can be found in the group files over on the EandLS Yahoo List.
