Town names: was (erielack) Pronunciation

Along the same lines, on page 228 of the book "Erie Lackawanna West End, 
Vol. 1" (An Outstanding (!!) book, which gives GREAT coverage to a topic 
that is all too often given either little or no mention at all [Also covers 
the C&WI]. If you want to know about how the Erie got to Chicago...Get this 
book from the ELHS!!), is a copy of the Chicago & Erie timetable #1 
(11/16/1890) which lists a town called Marshland and shows it lying between 
Leiter's (Ford) and Monterey. Every other book I've ever seen has called 
this town by the name it has today: DeLong. 'Course, it also shows a town 
called Germany, which disappeared during WW I and became Pershing. Go 
figure.
