Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1897, the railroad’s primary function was to haul iron ore from its Conneaut, Ohio Lake Erie port to the steel mills he owned in Western Pennsylvania. The return trip to Conneaut saw coal being hauled from Western Pennsylvania for the steel mills in Northeast Ohio. While the fleet of freight cars consisted mainly of hopper cars, the railroad did have a fleet of 40 and 50 foot box cars. The B&LE is still in business with iron ore and coal as its primary commodities. If you have any questions regarding any specifics, please do ask. It is the eBay way.
