Paul and list...
But, then what was the westbound counterpart to UT-74? Could that have done any local switching in Hornell? Somehow I find it hard to believe that with all the activity in Hornell that the EL wouldn't have kept a local switcher stationed there and that one of the "junk trains" wouldn't have stopped to set off a few cars for the local industries in Hornell and Arkport. I think my dad has a picture of an SW-something or another puttering around with a few cars in tow in Hornell in the mid-70s. I'll see what I can find. What we really need is to talk to someone who grew up in Hornell or spent a lot of time there. Surely, there must be someone on the list that knows somebody from that area...
