RE: (erielack) LV
I have one of the last LV public timetables issued. I think LV ran some
Philadelphia/Buffalo/Toronto sleepers as well as one out of New York.
The Maple Leaf had a weird schedule passing through Wilkes-Barre in only
one direction, not sure whether it was e/bound or w/bound with the
cut-off around the city used in the other direction. On the schedule it
ran, I doubt many people boarded or left the train between Lehighton and
Ithaca.

Thanks Paul and Randy.
I read the CN supplied the sleepers for the Maple Leaf. Any ideas on
the diner used on the Maple Leaf?
