I'm working on a piece about an excursion passenger train derailment on the Nickel Plate west of Cleveland in 1891. NKP trains were routed around the site with a detour route Lorain (CL&W) Grafton (Big 4) Cleveland. Do any of you have images you would be willing to share (with image credit) of CL&W power or passenger cars previous to 1892? The same with any images of CL&W facilities that existed on that section then and after that time.. William J Powers
