Now some discussion points: (Regarding the map)

>1.)	It, in my opinion, seems fairly accurate.  The River Line is shown as

>etc;

I assume that the map is strictly concerned with the CR-run lines and that 
the state subsidized/new user lines in Indiana (Erie Western/C&I, 
Tippecanoe/JK Lines) aren't shown.

Actually, the Dayton branch is shown as "Light Density" down to the vicinity 
of Claiborne, without showing the portion that currently serves the 
Pottersburg Honda plant.

>4.)	Look around Dayton / Springfield, OH.  There is a very brief stretch of

I can't be certain, but wouldn't this be the Dayton branch line between 
Maitland (DT&I crossing) and CR's CP190 (Enon), which has/had another active 
portion around Osborn?
