	Road linked Pittsburgh's industrial area with Lake Erie ports - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Just upstream from the Pennsylvania Turnpike bridge over the Allegheny River is an often-seen bridge of the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad, a road begun in 1869 to connect the Pittsburgh industrial area with Lake Erie ports such as Conneaut, Ohio, and Erie.
		Along with reorganizations through the years, the railroad was renamed the Pittsburgh, Shenango and Lake Erie in 1888; Pittsburgh, Bessemer and Lake Erie in 1897; and finally the Bessemer and Lake Erie in 1900, when the PB&LE was merged with Andrew Carnegie's Butler and Pittsburgh Railroad.
		One unique freight activity of the Bessemer and Lake Erie was the hauling of ice, which was cut during winter from the Conneaut Lake to storage points for summer use.

		The Bessemer and USX then filed complaints in federal and Ohio courts seeking indemnity and contribution from Penn Central, as the instigator, enforcer and primary beneficiary of the conspiracy.
		Appellants could not have been expected to file a contingent claim pre- consummation based on the speculative possibility that their conduct, which began in the 1950s, might have extended beyond the bounds of its statutory antitrust immunity and that they might successfully be sued years later.
		There, the court held that claims for contribution and indemnity asserted against a bankrupt railroad were not prepetition in nature--even though the facts giving rise to primary liability occurred before the railroad declared bankruptcy--because the railroad settled with the plaintiff post-bankruptcy and only then did the cause of action for contribution and indemnity accrue.

		The Railroad contends that the ICA is the exclusive statutory scheme for dealing with railroad consolidations and that accordingly the STB has exclusive jurisdiction to consider disputes concerning changes to labor agreements which are necessary to implement an STB-authorized consolidation.
		It follows from these propositions that where a railroad which has been a party to an ICC approved merger claims that certain proposed actions are incident to that mer ger and exempt from RLA procedures under section [11321(a)], the ICC has exclusive authority to resolve a challenge to these claims.

		Thus, they are entitled to little weight where, as here, the railroad's actions demonstrate an intent not to abandon by its continued willingness to negotiate and its statement that it has indeed conveyed the line to CKC for interim trail use.
		A railroad presumably would not agree to negotiate with a prospective trail sponsor unless that railroad believes the trail sponsor will be able to manage the right-of-way and assume legal liability and pay taxes.
		Lake County states that it is actively negotiating with UP for acquisition of the rail segment and anticipates that the negotiations will be concluded successfully given the additional time.

		To correct such social and economic disparities, the "Gandy-Dancers," as the men were called whose primary task was to look after the ribbons of steel that carried passengers and freight, turned to collective action in the 1880s and 1890s.
		They noted that subordinate officials of the railroads frequently scrutinized the journal to discover which of the men were violent in their opinions.

	Western Allegheny Railroad Ghost Rails Volume II by Wayne A. Cole
		In its finality under Pennsylvania Railroad ownership, the Western Allegheny was slated as part of the “Low Grade” route to reduce traffic on the Horseshoe Curve and the congestion in Pittsburgh.
		The Western Allegheny Railroad, having used the once common 2-8-0 H10s locomotives, is known for being the last steam operated short line in Pennsylvania and for owning the last H10s in existence in 1957.
		However, by 1992, history would repeat itself in the diesel age: the Western Allegheny Railroad used a trio of old Bessemer and Lake Erie 1500 Hp F units; these F units were known as the last units in revenue freight usage in America.

	Case Study Series: Conneaut Harbor
		This long-term blockage of littoral drift material effectively starves the beaches to the east of the harbor, leading to rapid erosion of the shoreline at a rate of approximately 2 feet per year for a distance of nearly 3.5 miles, with diminishing effects beyond that point.
		Two property owners receive the major impacts: the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad in Ohio and the Pennsylvania Game Commission in Pennsylvania (Gamelands 314.) The shorelines of both properties are presently undeveloped and provide a valuable stretch of continuous habitat for migratory birds and indigenous flora and fauna.
		With support from Pennsylvania's Office of the Great Lakes and other state and local officials and agencies, using the interstate consistency provisions of the CZMA, PCZM asked the Corps to reconsider their options and include beneficial use of the sediment appropriate for littoral restoration.

		It is "underfit" because it was eroded by the vastly larger glacial lake overflow.
		Construction of the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad in the valley in 1883 eliminated the waterfall.

		Consequently, this appears to be a possible "two-to-one" competitive situation (i.e., the number of railroads that have access to the facilities or that appear to be best-positioned to gain access to the facility with a build-out would decrease from two to one).
		Currently, one railroad (DMIR) moves all of the iron ore from the Thunderbird North mine and all of the taconite from Fairlane and Minntac, and only one railroad (Canadian National) can constrain their market power by threatening to gain access to the EVTAC and Minntac sites through relatively short build-outs or build-ins.
		We reiterate that the trackage rights fees to be paid by a replacement railroad should be set in a way that allows it to compete with the same marginal costs as the merged-out railroad.
