photo with caption (explaination)
As the caption in last photo implies, the train track identified in the above photos was removed not too long after the photo was taken, in the Summer of 1982 (by the time Marc moved to the area in 1987, there was hardly any sign of the track left). The track right-of-way is now being converted to a rail-trail system, called the Greenway Corridor in Lake County and the Maple Highlands Trail (maintained by the Geauga Park District) in Geauga County. Thanks to K. Clem for some historical information.
