Did the NKP railroad share this bridge with the Ohio Electric Co.? The reason for the question is that the topo maps label the route NYC&StL, which is the Nickel Plate Railroad.

At first I was confused about why the NKP would be in Toledo because the NKP mainline was significantly further south of Toledo. So I consulted a NKP map. That reminded me that, by 1952, NKP had bought the Cloverleaf Railroad and that the eastern terminus of that railroad was Toledo. Note the Cloverleaf Yard in the lower-left corner of this topo excerpt.
