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.
