| Zachary C. Gillihan commented on Raymond's post BK lives!!! [I gather from the comments that this is a CTC machine.] |
Fortunately, the second map that I looked at showed me that the junction was south of Meadville. Erie Railroad is #16.

Looking south of Meadville, it was easy finding the junction on this topo map.
