Not exactly (and please correct me if I'm off here, more knowledgeable folks)... NYS&W interchanged with EL/Erie at Croxton Yard. NYS&W interchanged with PRR originally at Marion, but due to the delays in trying to get around Croxton Yard to get there, the PRR paid to build a bridge over Croxton so that they could interchange with the Susquehanna in North Bergen. Note that the NYS&W never used this bridge, even though it's commonly known as the "Susquehanna bridge." The Erie/EL interchanged with the PRR in a small interchange yard just north of Marion (Jim Gerofsky's latest "bigmap" shows this quite well) - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
