Re:Re:(erielack) Phoebe, on the Metro North
Phil - The Erie's Chicago passenger route did not run via Buffalo. So both
your statement and mine are correct. The Erie's passenger route was JC-Pt
J-Bing-Elmira-Hornell-Olean-Jamestown-Meadville-
Younsttown-Akron-Marion-Lima-Huntington-Hammond-Chicago. The Buffalo
service was from Hornell to Buffalo via Warsaw and Attica. DL&W-NKP service
(the through sleepers and cars noted in my email) was via Buffalo. The EL
restored service to the Hornell-Buffalo line as part of the downgrading and
elimination of the DL&W between Buffalo and QO Gibson. The last trains, #10
eastbound, and 21 WB (IIRC) operated 30 June 1962 on the DL side.
