N&W in Cincinnati

[NW Mailing List]

I've been wondering, did the N&W have trackage rights on the Pennsy line 
to Muncie prior to when it took it over at the start of Conrail?  If so, 
when did it start?  Was it prior to the 1964 merger?

Without that access, their only connection to the former NKP (and, 
hence, Wabash) would have been via the Sandusky line that they got as 
part of the 1964 merger, right?

Thanks.
