A Roger Puta Photo
Marty Bernard: Nickel Plate Road (NKP) 526 (GP9) swtching way freight at Gibson City, IL on November 24, 1962. |
I first learned about the
Lake Erie & Western when I researched why I saw
NKP 426 in
Tipton, IN. LE&W had both a north/south and an east/west LE&W route through Tipton, IN. The east/west route is still owned by Norfolk Southern between Lafayette and
Portland, IN.
Today's operation of the segments of the east/west route of the LE&W. The colors define the segments on the map below.
- NS (blue): East Peoria to Gibson City
- Abandoned (red): Gibson City to Cheneyville, IL
- KB&S (yellow): Cheneyville to Lafayette, IN (It must have shared trackage with the Big Four between Templeton, IN to Lafayette.)
- NS (blue): Lafayette to Portland, IN
- RJ Corman's Western Ohio Lines (RJCW) (orange): Portland to Lima, OH
- NS (blue): Lima to Fostoria
- Abandoned (red): Fostoria to Sandusky
