Re: (erielack) Route of the "Cleveland Lake Cities"
Naaah, the 'P' Co. had a station on the lakefront......they went their own
merry way. I never took a train there, but while in the USAF passed thru CUT
several times in the mid-50s. There was a Harvey House restaurant in the
terminal - probly the farthest East that Company ever got. I'd always select RR
travel when duty took me anywhere. One time in 1958 I was at Wright-Patterson
AFB in Dayton and used the B&O line to Toledo. Train pulled in behind a
beautiful 4-8-2 and departing Dayton, the engineer let er rip. I went & opened a
top half of a vestibule door & just listened for quite a while as he covered the
flat farmlands across Ohio. What a trip!!

Is this where Cleveland's Union Station was? Wasn't it so, that the
Pennsylvania Railroad shared that station with the Erie? Lance
