IF it was a LOADED COAL TRAIN from Carrolton, it would have been from 
CARROLLTON, NY.  And really, it would be on EL rails at Carrollton as it used 
the B&O from the Brockway (Pa) area to Lewis Run  then entered NY to come to 
Carrollton.  The B&O (BR&P) went over the top of the EL at Carrollton.

Coal trains from the Bradford Division that went east had to go to Salamanca 
to runaround their train prior to going east.  By EL times you could only 
enter the Bradford Division (actually Sub-Division) in an Eastbound direction.

As information there is now a connection not too far west of Carrollton 
between the former EL --now Western New York and Pennsylvania RR and the 
former B&O, now B&P RR.
