You're doggone right, Ed Painter. The W&LE also entered Cleveland
from Harmon. How do I know ? My first assignment on the N&W was
on the Lake Region. I arrived in Cleveland on a Sunday afternoon
and started looking for a place to put up. My boss, a buckeye by
the way, suggested staying in a swanky neighborhood known as "the
Heights". People there didn't rent rooms. Next day, someone
suggested a motel that rented by the week -- and I'm making $550
a month ? At Campbell Road one day, I found W&LE had a dormitory
there, and with the General Manager's permission, I was able to
stay there for $15 a week. W&LE had a bridge north of Campbell
Road that crossed the Cuyahoga River. The sludge in the river
caught fire and burned the trestle down.
