Notes
The Atglen and Susquehanna was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a freight only line avoiding the passenger branch that went through Lancaster. It was also known as the "A and S", the "Low Grade" or the "Enola branch". It may have once been part of a larger plan to have a low grade railroad from the east coast of the U.S. all the way to the midwest.
