How about Orleans to French Lick, and Wallace Jct. to Midland, or are those counties listed in one of the other sections?  / Ron

I'd have to look closely at a map - but did any of the coal branches sneak into Sullivan County?

Interesting question,Mark, but yes, according to my 1936 Monon coal territories map, the Monon did sneak, barely, into Sullivan Co.
