Re: (erielack) Elmira, NY



Railpace ran a shot I took of NJT cars enroute to ABB a few years ago - if
I remember right access is via a section of DL&W main that runs up into
Horseheads.   not much left, some DL&W track as industrial track (east of
Elmira the R-O-W is very visible and one segment of track still uses a
bridge of unusual design - like a through truss but with squared offset
ends), and a short segment of the Pennsy north as far as a lumber yard.
