"The Huron Branch, WLE's first line between Norwalk and Huron, was acquired by WE [implying after 1990] but was never activated north of the Norwalk city limits and was later removed in its entirety."

According to a scanned document, which can be found here, http://www.cppr.net/documents/abandonment.html, it appears NS petitioned for abandonment of the Huron Branch in 1988, before WLE (II) 75.35.242.241 ( talk) 15:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply

It's possible that they didn't actually abandon it before 1990, and did transfer it to the W≤ I would need the text of Finance Docket No. 31591 (sale to the W&LE) or Docket No. AB-227 (Sub-No. 0X or Sub-No. 1X) (the W&LE's first abandonments). -- NE2 17:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC) reply
