Interesting Diamond article by Ron Dukarm about Erie's Great Lakes operations. I had no idea about this aspect of Erie history, but from a commercial standpoint it made perfect sense. My question concerns Erie's entry into Buffalo in 1852 (acc to the article), which is earlier than I thought since the mainline to Dunkirk was completed only the previous year. Did the Erie reach Bfo by new constuction, by acquiring one or more RRs (as it did with it's western entry by way of B&SW), or a combination of the two?
