I would be interested in knowing that also, AND, when the line was abandoned, did the VERRRRRRRRRRY expensive homes on the West shore get adverse posession of the rail lakefront property or was it sold to them by
Conrail?
A friend of mine said they stopped running daily in 1968 which would have made since because Penn Central would start abadoning a lot of the low traffic lines. I don't know about what year the last train came through. I know the tracks were removed between here and Lucurne in 1974. So the last trains might have of been in 1978 due to the fact the grain elevator in Culver burnt down on Halloween 1978. If that was the case grain would of shipped to Plymouth and got on the Pennsy line.
