Notes: Erie-Lackawanna Railroad created in the 1960 merger became the Erie Lackawanna Railway which was formed March 1, 1968 as a subsidiary of Dereco, the holding company of the Norfolk and Western Railway, which had bought the railroad. On April 1 the assets were transferred as a condition of the proposed but never consummated merger between the N&W and Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Dereco also owned the Delaware & Hudson Railway at the time. The Erie-Lackawanna discontinued long-distance passenger train service to Chicago with the last run on Jan. 5-6, 1970.
