| Jonathan Konopka posted The W&LE (later N&W) lift bridge over the Cuyahoga River in the industrial valley of Cleveland. Built in 1956, it carried the W&LE main line over the river and it ultimately ended somewhere up by the old Erie Literary Street Yard, where they interchanged. The bridge is still around today but is not used. Photo taken in August 1970 by Lamont Downs. Lyle Merdler: That line ran south from the bridge and crossed Broadway near Union Ave. Back in the 70's when it was active, I was stopped at a light and saw an engine and some cars emerge from behind a building at that intersection. It looked like there was maybe 12" of clearance on either side of the ROW! I am sure the tracks were there long before these buildings were and whoever built them they played it tight! The Morgana Run Trail is now in place of the tracks. This was a crazy busy line at one time, feeding scrap to the mills. |

I wonder if the high-level bridge next to the predecessor W&LE bridge carried an ore or coke conveyor for the steel mill.
