Re: (erielack) Akron Questions

I don't know how to resolve these contradictory positions:

1. EL handled loaded trilevels with a height of 18'6" above the rail eastbound through Akron.
2. The eastbound track had a height restriction of 17'9" throughout EL years.
3. Keith doesn't recall eastbound trains with loaded trilevels crossing over to go through Akron.

Anyone?

The tracks are gone from the JO Tower area, but the ROW is still very much intact. 
   
  The EB main does/did sit higher than the WB main in this area. Neither track was lowered, so the clearances in my 1961 ETT apparently stayed that way until well after the mainline was downgraded.
