Unlike the B&O bridges closer to the lake, this bridge is still used.

| Jonathan Konopka posted A W&LE train is seen crossing the B&O drawbridge over the Cuyahoga River near the north end of Clark Avenue Yard and I-490. Photo is dated July 2000, credit belongs to A.H. Morscher. |
I used street view to verify I had the correct notes for Jonathan's post because there are three former B&O rolling bridges in Cleveland.

While trying to get a clearer view, I moved one more "mouse click" North and the bridge disappeared. Then I noticed that the bridge was down. That verifies that trains still use this route. Checking the dates verifies that these two views were taken by different drivers.

| Bill Curran posted Douglass Butler shared Credit goes to Bill Curran, Here is a view of twin Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridges the Baltimore & Ohio #460 Railroad Bridge on the right and Newburgh & South Shore Railroad Bridge on the left is now gone since 1994. The Double Leaf Jefferson Avenue Cowing Bascule Bridge that was removed due to the 1969 Cuyahoga River Fire, and the Erie # 19 Conrail Railroad Bridge removed in 1985 crossing the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, OH. Dennis DeBruler: The roundhouse was the B&O and part of it still stands, https://maps.app.goo.gl/HcUwitxGukmDqebc9. |

| Jim Pinchot commented on Bill's post I think this picture is after 1930. But not by much. The administration building was built in 1880 and the addition was added around 1930. I currently rent this building. |
