Bridge from West to East side over Cuyahoga Cleveland CLIFFS (former Mittal-ISG-LTV-Republic/J&L.

There's actually a bottle [railcar] at the bottom somewhere.

Timothy Jordan: 9 bottle fell into the river early 70’s still there.

Thomas Munroe: I was working there when they lost a bottle car in the river . They put a resentment wall around it so it wouldn’t move into the channel.
