Okay, now I'm confused. Operation of EL trains with PC crews over PC tracks sounds like a haulage agreement, but LDY's books say trackage rights. Which was it? It made little difference at least financially, as either would have involved payments to PC by EL which was a factor in the shift to Rupert. One of the functions of Gang Mills yard was to service the Reading connection, but even after 1969 it appeared to stay busy as a block-swapping location for eastbound EL trains. Paul B Erie and EL interchanged with the Reading at Newberry Jct. > The train was operated out of Corning (Gang Mills) by New > York Central (Fall Brook) crews using Erie/EL power and > caboose. That ended in 1969, after Penn Central was formed, > and the interchange moved to Rupert on the Bloomsburg Branch. > > Gordon Davids The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
