When I was on the ex-PC main in 1998 (?) it looked as I described.  Hopefully they've upgraded the rail, ties and ballast since then.  I got curious too and Googled the CFER.  Here's where I found some photos: <A href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoList.aspx?id=CFE" mce_href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoList.aspx?id=CFE">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoList.aspx?id=CFE</A> I also did a search by location and found some very nice pictures from the Decatur, IN area, mostly shot during the Erie Western days (the short-lived attempt to keep part of the EL main in operation).  The photos show the PC (ex-GR&I branch) tracks still crossing the ex-EL main.  Later the EL tracks east of the PC crossing were removed, the tower was scrapped and they (CSX?  CR?) built a new connection from the ex-PC to the ex-EL curving from north to west to reach a canning plant I think on the west side of Decatur. The inside of the NW depot there was special - my uncle would've been a station agent there at the time of the interior photo. Looks like the CFER likes(ed) GP38-2s. Now I'm really missing the old days!
