I have CNJ and LV company maps for 1892.
The first shows the line from Upper Lehigh Jct on the Wilkes Barre line, running to Upper Lehigh PA with a branch from Pond Creek Junction to Sandy Run, continuing to Drifton and then back in a big loop to Drifton Jct on the main, with another branch to Hazlebrook from Eckley.

The second shows the LV running from Sandy Creek Jct via Pond Creek Jct to Upper Lehigh Jct, and also to Eckley from Hazlebrook.

I'm confused. Can anyone explain which lines were owned by which company, and which were operated over by trackage?
