(erielack) RE: FW: CNJ Interchange

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

A big thank you to MAlcolm for taking the time to provide us with this info. 
Concerning  NKP/N&W-Erie/EL interchange, Lima OH was most likely a service 
route and for merchandise traffic, was more important than Cleveland. 
However around 1972, the Cloverleaf/LE&W was de-emphasized in favor of the 
former Wabash, which had the better alignment.

I forwarded this question to a friend in my model railroad club, who once 
worked for the NYC, and is
pretty knowledgeable about this stuff about routes.  I've edited his reply a 
bit for brevity, and to
eliminate some stuff about the Chesapeake System, our club's model railroad. 
Anyhow . . .
