Keith Baker: The line was used into the 70's to deliver poles to Ohio Edison on Lake Ave. In 1982 when the steel plant went down, NS stored empty pipe gons out over the bridge. I saw them moving cars out there once.

Mike Czeck commented on Allen's post
It's in pretty bad shape under there.

The Nickel Plate cross the river three times in that area.

Fortunately, this photo confirms that I have the correct satellite location.
