| A 96 car XCL coal train rolls past the Erie station at Addison, one of several still standing at this date(it was still up in 2015). The empty space in the foreground has a story of its own. This was once an interchange point between the Erie and the B&O, later to be the Wellsville Addison & Galeton. The primary traffic here was leather, which came off the WAG going to the Triple Cities, which had numerous shoe plants run by Endicott Johnson. I knew a man who had grown up in Endicott in the 1950s who told me that Erie had switchers on three tricks at EJ during that period; that being the case, the interchange here must have been phenominal. |
