I was looking at my SPV atlas and saw that in the distant past, Olean hosted more RR's than Erie and the PRR Bfo line. There was also a PRR branch to Warren PA, the Pittsburgh, Shawmut and Northern (colorful name!) Salamanca line, and the 3' gauge Olean, Bradford and Warren. The PS&N was a P&S subsidiary and was one of those RR's to nowhere; IIRC was abandoned in 1947. The OB&W was one of several NG lines in western upstate NY, and I'm guessing it disappeared around 1900 if not sooner. Speaking of photos, my Diamond arrived yesterday, and I enjoyed the photos of the outstanding models in the color insert. The Pocono was a real beauty.
