It kind of makes you not feel too good about the people running the N&W. One would think that a road like the N&W, who essentially controlled the EL during the Dereco years, would want to do all they could to help them succeed. If so, why give most of their traffic through Buffalo over to the LV instead of the EL? Was this part of a not-so-secret plan to help the EL fail? - -pat moore The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
