At one time the B&O had trains called "New England 96" and "New Englander"; what was the routing used?

St.Louis and running via Cincinnati, Dayton, Willard, New Castle, and ending at East Salamanca, NY. It also shows NE96 originating at Willard and running via Cumberland, Cherry Run, Hagerstown, Rutherford Yd.(Harrisburg), Allentown, and ending at Maybrook Yd.The old memory cells confused New Englander with Northeasterner - after all that was over 50 years ago for me.
