Reading a book or two on the subject 
would be a good start.  Steve Timko, which of your Morning Sun releases 
would 
you recommend?  Perhaps you have an extra copy of your Southern States 
presentation you  could send to Brad? If not, if it's okay with you, I'll 
scan and send a  few pages to him.

I was going to respond to Brad's questions but needed a bit of time  to 
compose something as it is very complex and the amount of traffic moved  daily 
is hard to imagine.  I will try to get something on line later  today.
 
As far as the Morning Sun Books, Trackside Around Youngstown has  quite a 
few photos of the area, naturally.  Trackside in the Rust Belt is  also heavy 
on industry and railroading in the Rust Belt.  The photos were  all taken 
by retired EL Chief Dispatcher Cal Banse.  Additionally,  Trackside Around 
Eastern Ohio has quite a few local photos also.  There  is a new MSB out, 
Steel Mill Railroads that covers railroading inside the  fences of the steel 
plants and that book shows dumping of slag, coke making,  limestone quarrying, 
scrap handling, etc.  So any and all of the above  books will have lots of 
Mahoning Division content.  
 
I have the Southern States Power-Point presentation on a CD I  believe and 
will e-mail it to Brad.  The title of it is "E-L's  Mahoning Division--July 
1, 1965"
