Re: (erielack) Western PA (2)

Besides what Steve has already mentioned regarding coal movements from the 
Lisbon Branch, the Erie/EL didn't have any other coal mines on that portion 
of the RR...

They did receive coal from the N&W at Creston for movement east, and of 
course ore came off the Great Lakes in Cleveland destined for steel mills in 
Youngstown and beyond, but unfortunately, no coal was loaded on-line in 
recent times...
