According to Chuck McGuire via email, the Hutchinson and Northern Railway (AAR reporting marks HN) is a railroad operating in the U.S. state of Kansas which started operations in 1923 as an electric line serving the Carey Salt mine at Hutchinson, KS. Currently, HN operates 5.14 miles of trackage all located within the city of Hutchinson. Connections are made with the Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF, and the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad. HN was owned by Processed Minerals INC., a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific. However, the EEC is another line:
EEC - East Erie Commercial Railroad
For many railfans, Erie is best known as the home of General Electric Transportation Systems' locomotive plant. Here, all GE locomotives are assembled, painted, tested, and set out for interchange and delivery. The newest GE units can be photographed here in the GE "backlot". The plant is located in Lawrence Park (eastern Erie), adjacent to U.S. 20 (Buffalo Ave) and PA 5. Immediately adjacent to both Conrail and NS, many railfans prefer to view trains at or near the GE plant. GE's switching railroad, the East Erie Commercial, operates a three-mile test track for the testing of new or experimental locomotives. The EEC track is equipped with overhead catenary for electric locomotives for those occasions when electrics must be tested. The test track is also multi-gauged for testing of foreign units.
