Sween,
Remember that the LV above Coxton is only operted by R&N part way, and NS the rest. It is the only water-level route north out of the Lackwanna or Wyoming Valleys. With the tonnage restriction on the ex DL&W, I would bet the LV rises in stature sooner rather than later. It is alsmost as well engineered as the DL&W.
You heard it here first... come back in 10 years and see if I am on to something.
