Re: (erielack) Route of the "Cleveland Lake Cities"(2)

["Rich Behrendt" <rbehrendt_@_columbus.rr.com>]

To provide some further clarification to Rick's remarks, the line is 
currently owned by NS, but has been leased for operation by Cleveland 
Commerical (which also operates some of the W&LE trackage in the Clevland 
area) for the last couple of years, and is intact from just north of E.55th 
St. to the Stouffer's facility, just north of Harper Road in Solon.

Track is in place south of here, but most/all of the grade crossings have 
been removed/paved over down to end of track in Aurora...

NS agreed to allow grade crossing protection equipment to be removed with 
the understanding that if rail service returned, a new grade seperation 
structure (ast least for Harper Road/Solon) would be built...
