In more modern times, the lone EL entry in Steffee's freight survey for 1967 was NE-100, Hornell-Binghamton rather than west of Marion. Apart from some curvature in the Canisteo Valley, the line is relatively straight and flat.
Paul B
Don Stefee's (sic?) passenger speed surveys in Trains would usually list
some Erie runs in the western divisions in his honorable mention category. I
presume these would be on the stretches noted in yesterday's post by Steve
Timko.
Almost a year ago I posted a question about the veracity of a rumor I once
heard that an old Erie engineer spoke of hitting 100 mph in a K-5. Below I
am pasting some responses, as they are relevant to the present thread.
