The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society is a non-profit organization located in Parsippany, New Jersey. Founded in 1980, the society is dedicated to preserving and restoring dining cars used by the Erie Lackawanna Railroad, a historic railroad that operated in the northeastern United States from 1960 to 1976.

The society's collection includes several dining cars, including the Lake Cities, a 1949 Pullman-Standard car that was used on the Lake Cities Limited train between Hoboken, New Jersey and Chicago, Illinois. The car features a full kitchen, dining area, and lounge area, all of which have been restored to their original condition.

The society also owns and maintains a collection of historic railroad artifacts, including menus, china, and silverware used on the Erie Lackawanna's dining cars. The organization is staffed by volunteers who are passionate about preserving the history of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad and educating the public about its legacy.

The society regularly hosts events and tours of its collection, including dining experiences where visitors can enjoy a meal in one of the restored dining cars. The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society is a unique and valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of rail travel in the United States.
