Re: (erielack) Re:Erie Lackawanna-track abandonment question
What a shot!!!! I've got a photo (a B&W print) taken in 1974 of an SE-99
heading East and it's lead unit is at right about where the end of your
train is. There's a signal box (that's still remains) where the switch
starts to the old road. This train is making a run for the grade leading
to the Delaware River viaduct. the train is on the eastbound main, it sure
looks like the westbound main is out as there is nothing beyond the switch
that diverges off to the old road.
