Paul, Never say never. I have photo I took just after Conrail with the NYS&W 1800 sitting right on that bridge waiting to make an interchange movement. At the time I was Assisitant Passenger Trainmaster and was assigned the task to determine which buildings Conrail owned on former EL properpty that could be eliminated. I was making my study when the SUSYQ showed up. Rich "Tupaczewski, Paul R (Paul)" <paultup_@_lucent.com> wrote: Paul B. wrote: > Sheer carelessness on their part.

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 - --------------------------------- Yahoo!
