| I'm now standing alongside the C&P mainline, now the NS Cleveland Line and looking west towards Cleveland. Once again we see the bridge abutment for the old LE&P "flyover" that carried the westbound main over the C&P. At left is the LE&P's eastbound main. I really wish I was old enough to have photographed this old LE&P trestle. It was pretty fascinating, however, it saw it's time at the hands of Conrail in the 1990s during their doublestack clearance project. The LE&P was built around 1910-1911 with phenomenal engineering. It was a paper railroad that was owned by both the PRR and NYC. Correct me if wrong but I believe the line was built by the PRR while strictly NYC trains operated over it. The line was abandoned/removed in the late 1960s (or around 1970) by the Penn Central after they chose the C&P route into Cleveland. |
