Re: (erielack) DL&W and ERIE "minor" branches

There was a foundry there. Some of the buildings survived til after I moved 
here in 1988, but were all gone by the mid '90s. It was vacant by the time I 
moved here, and the tracks had substantially been paved over. There was no 
evidence of their connection to the main tracks. Looks like it was just a 
simple crossbuck-no gates or anything else for protection.
