Went and checked out Carlton Hill today. Never had gone there when I lived nearby, didnt realize anything was there.
The only inaccuracy that Ive seen in discussing the Carlton Hill rail line is that I know from firsthand experience that trains ran to within a very short distance from the end (ran next to the RHS football practice fields) until at least 1997.
Anyway, perhaps the most interesting thing that I noticed is that the rails along there are labeled Lackawanna 1940. Why would that be? Was it re-railed after the merger with reclaimed rail from someplace else? Did Erie regularly buy rails from D,L&W?
Anyway, enjoy.
