(erielack) More on the Southern Tier lease...

["Tom Beckett" <tabeckett_@_stny.rr.com>]

Cooperstown is about 17 miles north of I 88. Get off at exit 17, go north on 
NY 28, it'll take you right into town. But Schuyler is roughly correct in 
his location.

Saratoga Springs is the correct name of that city; it has been, and is, 
known on the D&H as Saratoga(as in "...then you get off at Saratoga for the 
14th time...). It is actually about 30 miles north of Albany.

In any event, our boy McKenna doesn't seem to have any discernible 
connection to the Southern Tier, or any part of the former EL.

Tom B(who has a whole book of maps, it's called an "atlas", and knows how to 
use 'em; not to mention a fair amount of experience on the ground)
