I suppose your colored lines tell it best! And they probably can be blurred up a little to be more clear as to the different movements that were made back and forth!

It's hard to pick out either ROW from the highway. When I get settled in my house, I'll take a hike around there.

I found the DL&W ROW a little east of Corning Country Club - you can't see it from the highway. A short walk revealed where the tracks rejoin the DL&W. As you drive west on rt86 towards the Gibson exit, look for a "Lodging" sign. That is where the tracks rejoin the DL&W ROW.

And I found ANOTHER DL&W telegraph pole in Big Flats - just west of the shopping complex in the car dealer lot. All four crossbars intact.

A clerk in one of the stores there noticed my Lackawanna RR hat and I told her it used to run through the area. When she asked where I told her she was standing on it. Literally.
