Re: (erielack) Steamburg Milk Plant



A drawing of the Erie in Steamburg in 1948 is available at
http://www.railsandtrails.com/Erie/Steamburg/index.htm

It is shared with the following stipulation:
These diagrams were distributed without copyright notice (required, if 
published before 1990). They were usually created by and reproduced for the 
use of railroad employees and may or may not be considered "published" under 
the copyright law. They are commonly included in published railroad 
histories. Some diagrams may be based on valuations submitted to the Federal 
Government beginning in 1914. Because rights are not clear, they are 
provided only for educational and historical purposes under "fair use". To 
the best of my knowledge, these were all freely obtained from the railroad 
by individuals without restrictions on further distribution. These are 
historic documents, many of the lines have been abandoned. They do not 
reflect current operations, if any.
