Ed,
 
From what I've heard, there was enough revenue generated here  to at least 
run the entire division if not the entire railroad.

Last  Thursday the WASHINGTON POST did a front page story on the 
Warren-Girard area  of Ohio showing pictures of rusting steel mills.  They reported 
that only  one mill continues to operate in that area.  The store went on to  
illustrate the massive unemployment in that area of the state.  I was  
thinking about the EL and how Erie used to promote this area as the "Heartland  
of American Industry".  This has had to affect the remnants of any EL  
trackage in the area.  I'm wondering what percentage of EL/Erie revenue  once came 
from this area.  If EL were still in place, would this  depressed area have 
forced them into reorganization?
