List,
   
  The direct connection to the NYC was probably why there was a Detroit sleeper on DL&W train # 5 the Twilight from Hoboken. The car operated west of Buffalo on the NYC.

  Dale,

There was a direct connection between the DL&W mainline and the NYC between
the Buffalo River bridge and the DL&W passenger station. I don't know if
there was a connection between the Erie and the NYC, although if you look at
the 1950 USGS maps Henry posted it looks like there might be at least an
interchange connection.
