What did the D L & W OFFICIALLY call the line between Slateford Jct. and Washington and Port Morris to Washington ? I have seen it called Old Road and also Old Main. Just wondering what they called it in timetables,orders,etc.

I looked and didn't come up with an answer. Still thinking about it.

I have looked as well.......even looking through old online employee timetables do
not seem to give a definitive answer.

I looked through one of the DL&W Employee Timetables on this site and it looked to even refer
to the "Old Road" as the main line, but I will provide a link and perhaps an answer can be found. I
will continue to poke around, too.
