Re: (erielack) Erie Street/Avenue/Road/Plaza

As Walt points out, there are some Erie-named streets in places where the 
Erie ran.  But why are there Erie streets/roads/courts/places, etc. along 
railroad tracks where the Erie never ran?  In Tipton, Erie Street parallels 
a NS line and dead ends into the former Nickel Plate Michigan City to 
Indianapolis line.  In Indianapolis, Erie Avenue runs next to that same 
Nickel Plate line on the northeast side of town.  Maybe the Erie's 
influence is greater than we think!
