SL - For the Erie to effectively participate in traffic from the cement district it may have been useful to have Erie cars in a pool administered by one of the origin railroads. While the DL&W was obviously a competitor on some traffic the L&NE clearly was not. In the age of regulation even DL&W-Erie joint line routes existed. Today joint routes involving erstwhile competitors are still common. Even today it is not uncommon for railroads other than the origin railroad to supply equipment for repetitive multi-road movements.
