Re: (erielack) Interchanges with B&O

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

Mike Connor provided a very complete list, although some of them are the 
proverbial "switches in the woods". In 1974, EL listed its principal direct 
B&O connections as:
Lima
Dayton
Youngstown
New Castle
Buffalo

Dayton was also the beginning of EL haulage rights over B&O to Cincinnati 
and Indianapolis.

As Steve says, a Morgantown-Corning routing that would provide B&O with the 
long haul is via the old BR&P with connection at Salamanca (or even Silver 
Springs), NY. However the shipper could have specified interchange at points 
further west (Akron, Kent, Youngstown, Newcastle) that were almost as 
direct.

In order for B&O to obtain the long haul the Corning cars would no  doubt
come routed B&O-Salamanca-EL.
