To simplify an explanation of trackage, imagine an "X" crossing at Cleveland, Ohio. The lines eastward through Ohio, Pennsylvania, roughly equivilant to the former PRR went to NS. Those ofthe former NYC along Lake Erie to Buffalo and south along both sides of the Hudson River went to CSXT. Westward from Cleveland, the former NYC to Chicago went to NS and the former PRR to CSXT. Also, the former Erie trackage known as the Southern Tier went to NS. Roughly, 58% to NS and 42% to CSXT. The same percentages were applied to equipment, both cars and locomotives with some individual tweeking here and there. On NS, locomotives are repainted in the NS scheme as their overhauls come due. They are renumbered to fit like power already on NS as much as possible with sublettering PRR. There are still quite a few on NS that have not been repainted but all have been renumbered to avoid duplications. About three months ago, I spotted a Duke Power coal train out of Roanoke with three blue CR units on the headend and two pushing, an all unrepainted consist deep in Virginia. Hope this helps! gdc
