Railroads Plan Widespread Joint Double Tracking
Consolidation plans would convert 7200 miles of parallel lines across five eastern states to double track systems.

Similar arrangements are proposed for major trunk lines, with talk of joint traffic between Erie and Erie at Transfer to Greenville and potential consolidations at Youngstown and New Castle, Mercer County.
