DL&W / C&O (Pere Marquette Dist) : Balck Rock, NY (Note 1); Buffalo (East Buffalo)NY. When EL happened, then Chessie System, many of these would have been redundant; but one of any pair would have remained. A common industry, served by both railroads, would not normally be an interchange point. Interchange points were established by tariff, not physical connection. Randy Brown - -------------------------------------------------------------- When I was in Kent, OH from '76 - '82, there was never (to my knowledge) active interchange between Chessie and Conrail at Kent. In Ravenna, there was no connection between the B&O/Chessie tracks and the Erie/EL/Conrail tracks. . . . The Erie/EL/CR ran on the north side of the Ravenna Army Depot, with the B& O/Chessie running on the south side along Rt. 5, and maybe a connection could be made there, but there was no active interchange between the 2 through the Depot...
