Re: (erielack) Binghamton information needed

Bob,
	You had talked Southern Tier in terms of the eastern end which I'm not that familiar with. Mentioning Meadville opens more possibility. Have you considered Salamanca? In the 50's era Salamanca was a division point on the Mainline e-w, as well as for Dunkirk Branch N to Buffalo, and the Bradford Branch S. The Salamanca yard also had a direct connection to the B&O yard at East Salamanca - until the (1945 I think) expansion of the Erie turntable the Berks were turned on the B&O interchange wye. Very little local industry, (Fancher Furniture and a lumber retailer adjacent to the yard, a Borden's plant and Cattaraugus Cutlery about 6 miles away in my hometown of Little Valley.) The Pennsy  ran across the river. I have a track plan for Salamanca for the era, and some collected info. Haven't seen very many photos from the era, but there are some. 

You could reply on list, or direct dhcrosby(at)verizon.net if you're interested.

...Perhaps I need to rethink my starting and ending points.  Were there any 
actual division points on the Souther Tier?  Hornell?  Meadville?  I really 
like the amount and diversity of possible customer loads in this area, but I 
would like the trains to make sense and not just have them appear and 
disappear.

Thanks and regards,

Bob
