Erie Lackawanna Railway
The Erie Lackawanna Railway 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&amp;W and Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Dereco also owned the Delaware &amp; Hudson Railway at the time.
