[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrnut282 TAG MC If you go back to the era of the Nickle Plate the N-S line (originally Lake Erie & Western) was a NKP branch from the Chicago line and also crossed and connected with the Pennsy's main Pittsburg-Chicago line as well, so it was a good bet any train going N through HUGO was eventually headed to Chicago. By the way, can I assume from your moniker that you don't care for MicroSavant software? [/quote] Yanno, you are RIGHT....Though an easbound turn at the Nickel plate used to be possible by the old knitting mill Additional comments: I always thought that GR&I track was New York Central, the logical extension of the line that crosses Wells Street, etc....I guess because that bridge over Main street looks so similar to the one (torn down now) over Sherman Street, I guess now, based upon what I read, there was a change in ownership at Runnion. You don't y anychnce have an old "route map" of the New York central through Allen County and Ft Wayne, do you? I've walked most of it, so I know full well how to find it, just curious to see birdseye view... One omission from that guys site is in the "former customers" served for the NYC, That line across Spy Run Blvd (near wagner) used to serve the Ft Wayne waterworks,..part of the track is still there, and I can just BARELY remember cars sitting on that siding...LONNNNG ago
