Mike is correct about the L&HR.  It was mainly a bridge route.  Remember
that they had trackage rights over the DL&W on the Sussex Branch to Port
Morris yard.  The DL&W/L&HR combination competed into Maybrook against th=
e
Erie fr the New Enland traffic.

Sadly, the L&HR had little on line traffic.  The zinc mines in Franklin a=
nd
later, Ogdensburg are what kept the line alive into the Conrail era.
