Pretty sure it would be cost prohibitive. I read an article once where it said that the bridge that would need to be used to cross the valley would have to be replaced as it would not be able to hold the weight of passenger trains.

I bought the last train ticket sold in the Cleveland Union Terminal the day the last Conrail (ex Erie Lackawanna) train left for Youngstown. Having a ticket was the only way to get down the stairs to see the train depart, so I bought a ticket--to E. 55th Street! I didn't board the train, though. The CUT was to me the best place in downtown Cleveland and I thank the Van Sweringen brothers for their vision and their impact on the city. What a nice video!

Born in Cleveland 1944, family moved to the burbs soon after. We went to Cleveland twice a year, Christmas like Ralphie, Higbees, May Co, Halles, Sterling Linder for the huge tree, Mills Cafeteria, Hobby House. Euclid Beach 5 cents day once each summer. Rode the articulated streetcars a few times. College in University Circle, had strips of 14 cent tickets to ride the CTS Rapid and watch trains. Lots of trains to watch back then! At Windemere, there were washrooms and a bake shop inside the ticket barriers, so you could ride all day for 14 cents.

I took the Capitol Limited once, but even living so close to the station, there’s no way I could ever walk there at 3:00am for safety reasons.

I was born in Cleveland, but in my early life, my family moved to the Michiana area. We came back twice a year to visit my grandmothers and other relatives. The Terminal Tower was always a subject and point of interest to me. I always looked for it on certain roads when headed towards downtown. One of my most iconic views of the downtown skyline happened right after I-480 was built and my sister and I on a Christmas morning were driving on the freeway to Parma to deliver some gifts to my Aunt's house for her and my cousins. It was a sunny day, and Lake Erie had these low clouds sitting on top of it, shining white as a backdrop to downtown Cleveland. It was as if the artist of the Nancy cartoon from the Sunday newspaper had drawn the Cleveland Skyline with the Terminal Tower looming prominently placed there for the world to see as we drove along the southern edge of the city.

For a period of time in the late 60's, my family lived on the West Side as I was growing up. I would take the Shaker Rapid home from school, hopping on a CTS bus to the West Side (the bus stop was just up Euclid Ave from the Terminal complex). My friends and I would use the Shaker Rapid to get to downtown to see the Tribe play. We'd park at Warrensville Rd and hop on the Rapid there, incredibly convenient. As a kid, I always kept an eye out to see what was parked where, as the Rapid got into the Terminal complex. There were old street cars sitting in the shadows. I tried to imagine what the Terminal Tower was like back in its heyday. I'm really glad to hear that heavy rail traffic (AMTRAK) might be headed back under the Tower...life as it should be. P.S. Didn't the Van Sweringen brothers live out in Hunting Valley, not Huntington Valley?

The Wildwood harbor was built to shelter construction barges for the sewage outfall from the sewage plant there. I believe the outfall pipes go out through the harbor entrance. We had a sailboat in the Wildwood Yacht club for 8 years in the 1980s. The piece of breakwall across in front of the entrance was built later, waves used to be wild in the dock area.

Some additional context: Amtrak didn’t originally plan to serve Cleveland. When May 1st 1971 came around, there was some political maneuvering in progress, and because of this Amtrak service to CUT started nine days later on May 10th. Because the Lake Shore service was obligated to end five days into 1972, Amtrak had to leave CUT to avoid Penn Central's $250K rent, which covered a full year of service. (I say Penn Central specifically because the Cleveland Union Terminals Company was formally absorbed by the Penn Central Transportation Company in 1989) Amtrak moved to a surface stop on the ex-Big Four Route tracks underneath the Detroit-Superior Bridge on New Years Day 1972 and stayed there until January 5th. This particular station site was also adjacent to the old Big Four & Erie Railroad depot. The Lake Shore Limited began in 1975 but the permanent Amtrak station wasn't finished until 1977. Great video!

Great video. It took me a solid 1.5 hours to watch, as I kept on pausing it to look at pictures of the old city and tried to recognize the old buildings that are still standing. Suggestions for video content would be Case Western Warner and Swasey Observatory. It is abandoned and still standing on the east side. Case Western Reserve Historical Society should have tons of history on it. Another would be the old Cleveland Aquarium, turned into the Cleveland Police K9 training center. The building is abandoned, but the K9 obstacle course is still maintained. I work near there and I regularly see off duty K9 Police playing with the dogs and running them through the course.

The P-motors pulled trains from Collinwood, through CUT, to Linndale and reverse. The road engine took the mail cars down the lakefront from Collinwood to the big post office near the Stadium, then went down the Big 4 down through the Flats, and met the train again at Linndale. One of the 22 P-motors was totaled when it pulled out in front of the Century at Collinwood, so only 21 went to NY. It was during the war, so it was hushed up. The Century bypassed CUT, down the lakefront and Big 4. The P-motors were never turned, based out of "P1a" shop at Collinwood.

Very nice video. The Ed Tobin photo at 7:06 showing the NYC train passing the B&O depot - where were you able to find the collection?

Great video. Exciting to take the train from Terminal Tower to NYC as a kid. I took multiple rapid lines for work and shopped in the Terminal when I worked in the Midland Building. I take Amtrak as often as possible. The station and long term parking are relatively safe (not sketchy) and free. Parking at Terminal Tower would probably cost at least $25 a day, with questionable security. And per one commenter-Cleveland is a terrible city??? I strongly disagree.

For Christmas shopping my mother used to take the train to the Terminal Tower and do her shopping downtown. She used to drag me there with her. Then she started using the bus which was horrible.

Now we have one of the shabbiest international airports in this country to offer up as the first impression visitors to Cleveland get. Some things never change.

It’s a shame what happened to Hopkins once United and Continental merged and United pretty much pulled the plug. Flew into CLE in the late ‘80’s and it was BUSY. Southwest had just started service there from Baltimore as well (one of their first routes out of Baltimore.) Fast forward 30 years and had to connect through there and was just disheartened how empty it was. Sad indeed.

​@@rixxroxxk1620 The mayor and council dropped the ball. There is an empty disconnected concourse south of the terminal building that was built for the planned hub, near the Cell Phone lot.

@@SteamCranepoliticians usually do screw things up once they get their paws in the mix. I loved Cleveland. Nice people, hard working and I’ve never had a problem there. Even when I did tell them I was from Baltimore. The jabs about the Ravens were inserted (even though I’m not a supporter of the Ravens,) but it was all in good fun and I bought the next round. Always a great time with great people.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and other entities want to bring the CVSR's trains to CUT so as to eliminate the need for Clevelanders to use an automobile to get the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Trains Magazine made an article talking about it in January of 2023. I would post the link to the article, put TubeYou won't let a comment with the link in it be posted, which is schtewpid.
