I hope someone can help me with this...

Recently when I visited Toledo to look up some family history, I found out a relative had been hit and killed by a train in the Cloverleaf Yard in the early 1900s. He was a little boy at the time and I'm guessing had been wandering around playing in the wrong place. They lived in a house on Lorain street, close by what looks to be a presently existing railroad track.

Can anyone tell me about the Cloverleaf Yards, where it was located, whether I might still be able to find its location, and what kind of place it was at the turn of the century?

Thanks in advance!
