------------------

Attached is a scan of a list I made from an EL Traffic Department document
showing a list of major [100 or more carloads originated per year] online
customer closings for the four years of 1969-72. The list is sorted by
year, then state, then city. I know this precedes the date range [74-76]
people are referring to in this discussion but shows some of the erosion of
traffic leading up to the inclusion of the EL in Conrail.

In summary, the closings by number of customers per state and carloads lost
look like this for this four year period:

NJ 18 customers 8,796 carloads
NY 16 customers 5,931 carloads
OH 13 customers 8,305 carloads
PA 4 customers 1,263 carloads
