I had the opportunity about 25 years ago to ride the TT and the ex-NKP thru Bellevue on an Amtrak Lake Shore reroute.  I remember the TT was double track, but you could see the other track was pretty rough, with chunks missing from the railhead.  I also used to drive past the upper Maumee River bridge, where it parallels the Ohio Turnpike, about ever year or two.  It was sad to see the bridge rails removed some years back.

Most of the west side of the loop is removed.

Toledo map
Posted by tim o'm on Tuesday, September 2, 2014 10:34 AM
In the current (October 2014) issue of Trains, there is a neat detailed map of the railroads and the main point of interest is the circular Toledo Terminal RR. I went to Google maps, and it looks like most if not all of the rail line is still there.
The loop railroad is a given for the modeler, but it escapes reality in most towns. Is it still intact? How long might it take, without stops, to make the loop?
Thank you for any help.
