Re: (erielack) Morristown & Erie interchange

["Carl G. Perelman" <carl.perelman_@_verizon.net>]

During the mid 1980s the M&E was serving a warehouse on the Vornado Spur 
that was receiving carloads of dog and cat food. Conrail would interchange 
the 50' boxcars of pet food at Lake Junction. Frequently, the M&E would 
operate two ALCOs (mixed or matched C424s or C430s) to tote these freight 
cars. At the Vornardo Spur it was a great show watching the railroad switch 
the freight cars along the side of the road.
