For the trains that made a direct hand-off between LV and N&W at Tifft, exactly what was the routing of these trains? How did they get from the LV to the N&W? Did they take the L&LE branch to the south into LV's facility at Tifft Jct and somehow jump over the PC tracks (how?) to get to the N&W? Or did they use N&W rights on EL from a connection near William St past SK yard and over CP Draw and into the N&W from the north end of the yard? Trains arriving at LV Tifft Jct terminal via the L&LE would arrive from the south pointing northward (in the wrong direction).

Crossed over at Tifft Jct to the Erie to FW, then Buffalo Creek to River Bridge (DRAW)/NKP. There's a photo of the LV/NW power swap at Tifft Jct in the Trackside-Buffalo book. NKP/NW had trackage rights DRAW to Bison Yd from way back.
