Cleveland Union Terminal rails under construction. Photo is facing west.

From left to right, the B&O RR Passenger Station; the Cuyahoga Viaduct; the Detroit-Superior Bridge and below it the Erie RR train shed and passenger station. On the right margin is a small portion of Columbus Viaduct. Today, all tracks except two for Rapid are gone. The B&O station still stands excluding its mansard roof and clock tower.

The viaduct not only goes across the river, it goes all the way across the Ox Bow Bend peninsula.

Union Terminal Bridge C. 1953. Notice the Columbus Road Lift Bridge in the background.

This photo explains why some tracks for passenger trains still exist --- it is now used for commuter service. And those commuter trains using electrical power explains why the bridges to hold overhead wires still exist.

The tower peaking over the bridge is the Cleveland Union Terminal for which this viaduct was built to provide access.

Because of the overhead wires, it is easy to identify the viaduct in the background of this Industrial Flats Lift Bridge as the CUT Viaduct.
