I think the northernmost CPF control point is CPF-66 a couple of miles south of Northern Maine Jct on Pan Am while the southern most CPF is CPF-716 at Nescopeck, PA on the D&H/CP. Question: will NS continue to use CPF terminology once they assume ownership of D&H South?NS probably will keep, having contiguous numbers with the B&M might come in handy in the future lol.
