The answer to your question is yes and no, NYS&W did fall under Erie
control, but the Wyoming Division was never a part of the NYS&W.
Unfortunately, all my books are in storage or I could dig up some more info
(and check my "facts").
As an aside, on the NYS&W just south of Scranton, is a spot called "Suscon"
(see the map), perhaps a contraction of Susquehanna Connection. I noticed
this morning on riding my NJT train into Hoboken that NJT has named the NJT
(former Erie mainline) connection at Hawthorne, NJ (my former hometown) with
the NYS&W "Suscon." How original.
