Paul,
I believe Pat is referring to the specious argument that CR had for
removing the rail off of the Cut-Off in 1984. It was pure BS. BTW, the
rail at Point of Gap is still CWR.

Pat, not sure what time period you're referring to, but in the early
Conrail
years ('76-'77), some of the cwr that had only recently ('74-'75) been
installed on the Lackawanna side (after EL decided it would be the
preferred
route) was lifted for relay on the Erie side east of Bingo, when CR
determined it didn't want the former DL&W line. I recall seeing the work
along the
Delaware R in '77.

I have read in several places that the Lackawanna Cutoff rail was
desperately needed in a rail relay program at that time..
Anyone know where it was realyed to???
