Also the Michigan Central mainline went across the state, but very little of the north/south trackage existed.

As a Syracuse University alum, I was especially interested in the description of the “Salt City”, whose main N-S drag is Salina Street (US 11). The main E-W drag is Erie Boulevard, built on top of the Erie Canal when the railroad put it out of business.

The SU mascot used to be the Saltine Warrior until that became politically incorrect.
