>Hello Fellow Rail Historians,
> I am trying to learn more about the LE&P, a joint venture of the NYC and
PRR
>to run from the Ohio coal fields to the National Tube Works at South
Lorain,
>Ohio. It seems to have built in isolated segements, and not all of the
>segements were connected to form a continuous line. It also seems that
>different segements were operated by either NYC or PRR, but not both. I'm

Elyria,
>since the Nickel Plate hauled PRR traffic to and from S Lorain via the

or

PRR

Erie
>(Lorain, Ashland & Southern).
>Yours,
