A further follow-up question:

I have a train consist sheet for SF-100 from 1975. On there are several cars with a destination railroad of "NYSE" (Susquehanna - NYS&W). But there are also several cars with a destination of "Whippany Paper Board, Whippany, NJ" - but with no interchange railroad. Whippany Paper Board was on the Morristown & Erie, so why isn't it listed as an interchange point? Would this indicate that WPB was also an EL customer?
