RE: (erielack) DAYTON HILL.
It is people like Jerry that we should be making efforts to listen to. His knowledge supercedes any grammatical/typographical errors. Commenting on items like that is just being far too picky and ungrateful. This man knows more about these pieces of track than most of us ever will. We should be thankful he chooses to share this with us. I never saw the Erie or EL operate as I was born in 1978 in eastern PA. This section of the Erie/EL/WNYP fascinates me and I am glad to be able to learn about it. I'm sure there is at least one other person here who shares my sentiments.
