(LVRR) RE: [thevalley] Fw: Lehigh Valley RR

["Wally Day" <wallhd_@_charter.net>]

>From Bingo to Ithaca via the LV? No, not very easily.  While it would have
been possible,  via a connection from the DL&W to the LV at Cortland (and
then arriving at East Ithaca), this would have been unlikely. The other
possibility would have been connecting (this would have required a taxi
ride-or a long hike) from the DL&W at Waverly to the LV at Sayre, this would
have been even less likely.

 

Maybe I'm missing another scenario here, but I don't think so.
