An incredibly cold day, with 50mph wind gusts and high consistent winds. Had to crouch down behind a tree to get these shots.
From the Cuyahoga River flats. The raised bridge is an abandoned Bascule lift bridge of the former B&O Railroad. There are a number of these abandoned bridges left in place in the Cuyahoga Flats, standing now as sentinels of the past.

The Detroit–Superior Bridge (officially known as the Veterans Memorial Bridge) is a 3,112 foot (949 meter) long through arch bridge over the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. The bridge links Detroit Avenue on Cleveland's west side and Superior Avenue on Cleveland's east side, terminating west of Public Square. Construction by the King Bridge Company began in 1914 and completed in 1918, at a cost of $5.4 million. It was the first fixed high level bridge in Cleveland. At its completion, the bridge was the largest steel and concrete reinforced bridge in the world.
This historic area is used to get ore to the steel makers in the Cleveland, Ohio USA area and elsewhere. Self-loading vessels (some are shown in my stream) are used to transport this stuff via the Cuyahoga River to the Cleveland based blast furnaces.

Public Square is the central plaza and historic heart of Downtown Cleveland. Designed by surveyor Moses Cleaveland in 1796, it was patterned after a traditional New England green, a common space in New England towns.
Features and History
Historic Center: The 9.5-acre (3.8-hectare) square was originally the center of the city plan, traditionally divided into four quadrants by the intersection of Superior Avenue and Ontario Street.
Key Monuments:
Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument: Dedicated in 1894, an impressive monument in the southeast quadrant honoring Cuyahoga County residents who served in the American Civil War.
Statue of Moses Cleaveland: Located in the southwest quadrant, honoring the city's founder.
Tom L. Johnson Monument: Dedicated to a former, influential progressive mayor of Cleveland.
Historic Landmark: In 1879, Public Square was the site of the first successful demonstration of electric streetlights in the world, using arc lamps designed by Charles F. Brush.
Modern Redesign (2016): After decades of primarily serving as a traffic hub, a major $50 million renovation transformed the square into a more cohesive, pedestrian-friendly civic space. The stretch of Ontario Street was closed, and Superior Avenue was restricted to transit buses. The northern half is now primarily a sloping lawn, while the southern half is a hardscape plaza featuring a fountain that converts into an ice-skating rink in the winter.
Landmark Buildings: The square is bordered by Cleveland's tallest skyscrapers, including the Terminal Tower and Key Tower, as well as historic buildings like the Old Stone Church.

On a rainy spring day 2011, on the shore of Lake Erie, the distinct triangular shape of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in downtown Cleveland Ohio. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, opening to the public in September of 1995 12 years in the making. This beautiful museum is the work of world-renowned architect I.M. Pei and ground was broken for the structure in June of 1993. The first induction of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was held in New York back in 1986. There were thoughts of keeping the Hall of Fame in New York. In addition to New York and Cleveland, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Memphis and Chicago all made proposals to be the host city for the museum. Cleveland was awarded the site of the permanent home for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. I remember local New York DJ’s like Don Imus (who's radio program still hadn’t become so politically oriented at that time) making New York City’s case as the correct location to no avail back then in 1986. The artifacts are remarkable and extensive and honestly I’ve been there twice and want to return to see what I didn’t get to see. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame welcomed over 8 million visitor since its opening.
SP 9793 leads a wild consist that includes an Amtrak F40PH and a Montana Rail Link SD40. The train is headed south on Union Pacific's Lufkin Sub, at the crossing with BNSF's Conroe Sub in Cleveland, TX. A little over a year had passed since Southern Pacific was merged with Union Pacific, yet widespread service issues remained. During this time of transition, the railroad was chronically short of power and crews. Amtrak F40PHs were leased and pressed into freight service. The MRL SD40 was most likely leased for this reason as well.
