RE: (erielack) Concordance Map (was re: Further Query-EL West End )

   Any one know if it is possible to get a copy of Cook's book "EL-The Final
Years".

   If possible where and how much it might cost?

I have the book and thought the same thing.  If I knew Cook I would
ask.  I do have the maps generated by the EL on what both B&O/C&O would
keep when that purchase was discussed (everything east of Sterling) and CR
(everything east of MArion).  It was interesting to see how CR removed the
CR line between Marion and Akron. They would take out alternate section
between crossover. This made operating the EL difficult.  You would run
down the eastbound main for a few miles then over to the westbound main
for a few miles.
