This photo is out the front window of an eastbound
train, and shows the right of way as the line crosses high above the
Cuyahoga River and "The Flats" area below. There are some fine, fine
views of the city from this structure. Unlike most heavy rail lines
elsewhere, Cleveland's utilizes above-ground current collection.
The old power infrastructure here dates back to a time of main-line
electrification to serve the area around nearby Cleveland Union Terminal. |
