<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="oltmannd"] <P>How about the Erie?</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Do you actually mean the Erie Lackawanna? If you mean the EL, I'd say the vast majority of that line (my personal favorite fallen flag) was abandoned when they wedged their way into Conrail at the last minute. My dear beloved EL's main through Indiana and Ohio is mostly a grown-over ROW now, after the Erie Western tried operating some of it out of Huntington. As far as I know, most of the former EL trackage that remained was out east. West of Marion the ROW was yanked when CR decided that the PC's routes were preferred (why I'm not sure in some areas anyway - the PC ROW was in awful bad shape in a lot of areas).</P>
