The road came out of 77B last December with its fixed charges scaled down from $14,000,000 to only $6,600,000, plus some $7,000,000 for contingent charges and preferred dividends. Under smart management last year, the Erie cleared $21.8 million after taxes but before interest, salted away a tidy $7,300,000.
