Another view of Erie Lackawanna railroad E55th st station.

Erie Lackawanna E55th st station early 1970s. No idea when it was torn down. Building in the back was an oil products company. None of this remains.

Nickel plate railroad coal towers at e. 75th st. Next to the rapid transit tracks out of the pic to the left. Circa 50s. They were torn down in the 1980s. Steam engine is a 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive. One of the class of these engines was the last built new steam locomotive in the U.S in 1949 by the Lima locomotive works. In Lima ,Ohio

Big four lift bridge in the down position. Carter rd. Lift bridge to the left. Scranton peninsula across the river. Upson nut & bolt division of republic steel is the giant steel building in the distance. Circa late 60s

Erie railroad,circa1948.leaving eastbound from literary st. Yard. Cuyahoga river bascule bridge the train is traveling over. Central furnaces are to the right of the pic. West 3rd st. Lift bridge is above the hopper car to the right.

There is the original Union train station in the bottom Center of the photo above.

Most likely 1915,old school Chicago style. Looks like it is just to the left out of frame in the old pic. Maybe those shadows in the foreground are from the building?

When was the gigantic Westinghouse building built? Had to been after the rebuilding of the boulevard.

Looks like the old boulevard might have gone thru were the "poo" plant is now,where the road to Wendy park is?

I try to do attachments,doesn't let met post photos. To much of a pain to use Dropbox and put the photo there. And then try to get it on here.

Wish it was easier to post photos on here, I do not have a computer,just an old iPad. not that savvy with tech. Have a bunch of photos of Cleveland from way back in the day. Is there anyway you moderators can do something to post photos on here? Like if you send a text to someone,and there is that little icon you hit to post a pic. So much easier. If there is another thread for this please move it there.

Two more photos found on Facebook.

Here are two pics of the old Union terminal on the lakefront I found on Facebook.

Thanks for the welcome KJP.

Union depot on the lakefront 1924.

This is photo of the union depot on the lakefront from 1924. From a magazine called the express messenger that did a feature on Cleveland and the 1924 republican convention at the new public hall.

Why was erieview never built out the way it was shown in that video?

Does anyone have any updates on the construction,pictures?
