Comments on the above post

The north/south route is the abandoned Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad. At first I was surprised that the routes were not connected since NKP owned both routes since the 1920s. Then I saw the connection a little east of Wikel Road.

That connection still exists because NS still uses the W&LE route to the Huron Docks.
