Re: (erielack) Erie steam locomotives



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.

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.
