Re: (erielack) Remains of the EL west of Marion, Ohio?
Phil's description is accurate except for the information on the last train on the old Chicago & Erie trackage. The last train on this section was not BN99, it was the IHB97 departed Huntington at 1945 HRs {7:45PM}. Orders were given from Marion that all trains be off the trackage by Midnight April 1. The Huntington Hearld Press and Fort Wayne Journal both had a nice article with pictures taken by Louis Zahm of the train leaving Huntington. I was the head brakeman on this train, Leo Smith who just passed recently was the Conductor.

Can anyone shed some light on any remaining EL mainline trackage that might
still be in place between marion and Chicago? I recall a stretch west of
Lima that operated briefly as the Tippecanoe or the Erie Western, but I
photographed a bunch of stored boxcars on this line next to a dead semaphore
signal in 1984 if memory serves.
Could someone point me in the direction of what's left and also a link to
the ABRF Erie/Lackawanna photo archives?
many thanks,
