Re: (erielack) Akron Questions

Mike and List,

The wording is a bit confusing. I think the best way to resolve the issue is by referring to an ETT. Does anyone have an EL ETT for the Marion division ca 1965-1975? There should be a reference to operation over the EB track through Akron.

I think the second to last paragraph is unclear, I think they mean "Loads over 17' 9" above top of rail...
   
  Because at the top, it says "Loads 19' 0" above top of rail should move over westbound track..." leading me to think that anything under that height was fine on the EB.
   
  And looking at the ROW, and the pic I sent out earlier, there may have been a 9" difference in altitude, but not a two foot difference.
   
  So, anything between 17' 9" and 19' 0" on the EB had to go at slow speed.
   
  Anything between 19' 0" and 19' 2" had to go on the WB.
   
  Anything taller than 19' 2" went over the Wheeling (NKP).
