Mike, Thanks for clearing that up. I'd always wondered whether the carloads originated on the Erie/EL but never got around to asking!

That actually was served from a spur leading from the PRR C&P Line (Conrail Cleveland Line) about a mile southeast of the connection with the Akron Branch. The last time I was up there, there were still covered hoppers spotted on the spur, IIRC for a plastics company.

I (and my dad before me) had many loads of big construction machinery (off highway mining and construction trucks, motor scrapers, bulldozers, payloaders, etc.) shipped from there to Paterson, New Jersey, from 1962 - 1975, where we received and off-loaded them and either drove them over the road to our yard in Wallington (if they were rubber tired) or by trailer if on "cat" tracks.
