Looking for photos of this line while it was still in operation. I have found a good history of how it came to be built and why it was pulled up but that is about it. It seems to be a very mysterious portion of rail due to the lack of photography of. If you are not familiar with the line, it was a jointly owned bridge route of the NYC/PRR but only used by the NYC and it ran from a connection on the NYC Cleveland Short Line at Marcy (now Cuyahoga Hts., OH) to a connection with PRR at Brady Lake, Ohio and was started by the LS&MS and ended by PC around '68. I have walked most of this route as a trail and any input to put things into perspective would be appreciated.
First of all, to the forums!
I think this link might help you, I hope.

thanks for the info but this railroad was confused with the P&LE even when it was still in operation, it was a different rail line.
This website has no photos, but lots of docs from the PC and predecessors, esp. in Ohio:

ICC Valuation reports often had photos of structures and sometimes rolling stock.
