Rich,

So, that was a dedicated rail train?

Charles and listers,

The EL did run rail trains in lengths of welded rail.

 Paul,

 I'm curious if you know whether the EL was welding the rail in place, or
 bringing in the quarter-mile sections and welding (necessitating a welding
 train). I don't recall EL ever having a welding train.

 Numerous stretches on the heavier-trafficked track 2 on the Southern Tier
 between Hornell and Bingo dating from at least 1968, Stretches on the
 Buffalo line Bfo-Hornell, the single track west of Meadville, portions of
 the former Big Four track on the shared trackage Marion-Galion. None of it
 pre-EL, AFAIK. An incomplete list but you get the idea. Discrete portions
 as finances allowed, but not entire divisions. IIRC the first ever US
 installation of cwr was on D&H in the Schenectady area in the 1930's.
 Close
 to HQ I imagine so they could keep an eye on it. Some of the portions in
 the Poconos you mentioned were laid in '73-'74 only to be taken up by CR
 in
 1977 for relay on the former Delaware division.

 Subject: (erielack) CWR on the EL

 I was wondering if anyone knows to what extent the EL used continuous
 welded rail on its lines? I know about some of the cwr that was laid
 between the Water Gap and Scranton (primarily on curves, I believe), but
 I'm wondering where else it might have been laid? And did the DL&W and/or
 ERIE lay any cwr prior to the merger?
