New: (Historic Bridges; 3D Satellite)
As the NYC/LS&MS went west from Cleveland, it went away from Lake Erie. Thus it has to cross both the East Rocky River and the Rocky River. But the NKP went towards Lake Erie so it has to cross just the Rocky River near its mouth.
You can see the pier in the middle that is from the previous bridge.

The stone piers on each side were reused. This is the west pier.

Dennis, If you zoom out on a map, the Nickel Plate had a passenger/freight station on the west side of the bridge, south side of the tracks in Rocky River, Ohio. There is still a siding there and sometimes NS trucks park on the gravel.
ReplyDeleteI should add, the depot is still there and a little more west is the siding. Been awhile since I walked around the area.
