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.
