Yes, I'm thinking maybe the 1950's. That's an awfully short rail move, especially for non-bulk freight. Can you pinpoint a year for the opening of the Erwin plant? Paul B From: pat.moore_@_att.net Subject: Re: (erielack) Corning Glass Hi Jim... That is some interesting info about the Corning Glass Works. What time frame are we talking about? Was he talking about operations back in the 60s because he referred to the NYC? I've always thought that the NYC/PC had most (if not all) the business from the glass works, that is until Corning opened the plant in Erwin in the mid 70s that you can see from the Rt 15 overpass. And that's an interesting (really) short haul from Corning to Horseheads! - - -pat moore The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
