BTW. Don't forget Erie which lasted with the DLW into EL days. The EL itself lasted passed PC into 1974-5 with freight service through until the emergence of Conrail in mid-70s.

The basic infrastructure still remains along most of the main from Port Jervis to Chicago. And, in the Southern Tier of New York. NS, which owns the Erie Main, has upgraded the single track to where most from Meadville, Pa., to Hornell, N.Y. is up to 40-mph up from 0 (that is, tracks torn up and graded flat by Conrail) 10 years ago.

So, a lot of the oldies are gone. But there is good news. Sort of.
