List, On Jan 2 there was a discussion of D&H/LV trackage rights over the Erie to Binghamton. Today I ran across the trackage rights agreement on the net. It's contained in a book, CORPORATE HISTORY of the D&H COMPANY" published 1906. For those of you interested, you can read it at: http://books.google.com/books?id=5LL5FihIF3EC&pg=PA86&dq=railroad+construction+lackawanna&lr=&as_brr=1#PPA461,M1 Ron Dukarm Gordon wrote:> > From "A Century of Progress," the centennial history of the D&H, > > "On (September 28, 1903) the president (of the D&H) reported that the Erie > Railroad Company was willing to provide the (D&H) company with trackage > rights for freight trains between Binghamton and Owego.
