RE: (erielack) Youngstown
How badly butchered is the ex-EL in Youngstown? I was there once about 7 years ago and didn't have much time to truly explore. I know the EL main through YOungstown was severed in 85, or thereabouts by CR. Why was that? What parts of the main, or YOungstown Bypass, are still in service/in existence. I know OHCR operates out of Brier Hill, but to where?
