In 1974, EL listed its principal direct B&O connections as: Lima Dayton Youngstown New Castle Buffalo Dayton was also the beginning of EL haulage rights over B&O to Cincinnati and Indianapolis. As Steve says, a Morgantown-Corning routing that would provide B&O with the long haul is via the old BR&P with connection at Salamanca (or even Silver Springs), NY. However the shipper could have specified interchange at points further west (Akron, Kent, Youngstown, Newcastle) that were almost as direct.
