Thanks very much for the info. I wasn't sure until now

R.N. Nelson Thanks for your help. For some reason I have it that they were 2111-2121 as express cars and survived as EL 89-99. The trouble is, I don't know from where I got that information, since it has been so long or if it is at all accurate. Norman

I googled "DL&W express cars 2111-2121" and got this: THIS, so the numbers appear to be accurate.

Also, any info on 2077 and 2101, as to what type of car they were?
Even Tabers' book, DL&W in the 20th Century, Vol II might be of help. Under non revenue equipment there are "kitchen cars" and a bunk car but a quick thumb through could not ascertain if they were the converted Express cars you are referring to.
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
Does anyone have any information on the 11 ex-troop kitchen cars that were made into Express cars on the DL&W?
