(erielack) Fw: [TierSightings] Double Track Across Starucca is Gone

["Tom Beckett" <tabeckett_@_stny.rr.com>]

This off the Southern Tier Yahoo list. Erie Delaware Div now single track 
from Lanesboro to "Sanford", which I am guessing is near Deposit(in the Town 
of Sanford). Haven't been out there, don't have a sighting or a MP. Sad to 
see the track go on Starrucca, but I suppose we should be glad there are 
still trains there at all.

>> Lanesboro. Westbound Double headed Erie searchlight
>> signal formerly on trk 1 at CP SR is now on trk 2.
>> The dwarf signal now governs trk 1(the siding).
>> Resumption of double track continues somewhere east
