Ed --? Thanks for the explanation.? I forgot about the tunnel work.? Even with CR, the W-B/Scranton area must have been difficult to get through with a long train!

Dave,?
By 1980 it was Conrail he had to contend with not EL & LV. Anything could have been holding them up. At around that time, they were working on the tunnel, I think, and trains had to be jockeyed around at Nineveh.
Another crew would have been brought to the train by van. Because it was at Windsor, they could have come out of Oneonta or Binghamton. The van would have taken them to Oneonta to register off.
Hope this helps.

? ? ?It certainly took him a long time to get through Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Carbondale!? Did the D&H control any of the interlocking towers down there?? Or were the towers controlled by the EL and LV thus giving those roads a priority?? Did another crew meet him in Windsor?? How did he get up to Oneonta to sign out?
