Re: (erielack) Erie Split Mains

["Walt Fles" <eriewalt_@_hotmail.com>]

Even in lake County ( Crown Point ) where the bridge was you can see a split
level difference where the walk trail is.  btw, if you remember the "Erie
Western" Picture in Trains in 1978, the bridge in the background is the 91st
street bridge.  You can DEFINITELY see the split level there.

Anyway, along the winding 113st in eastern lake county you can also see a
major split difference, about 15-20 feet there.
