Jim,
The track at this location is now single track, with the iron-truss bridge
removed some years ago, converted to a simply road crossing.

Kent yard is about 1 mile behind the photographer...

from Niles westward to the outskirts of Akron. I was in Kent in 2000 and saw
the main still there, albeit overgrown in places. At the time, it was owned
by Wheeling and Lake Erie, or some county authority, that had it railbanked
for a possible Akron commuter service.  When was this track removed?
