One thing that I don't remember from our discussion about this train a few years back: If the Croxton-P'Burg train was dropped, what replaced it? I assume CS-9 or other westbound freights simply had a Port Morris set-out that the P'burg Turn would then pick up? I seem to remember this was the case, can anyone confirm? - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
