Summary edit

Description
English: Columbus Road freight depot of the Cleveland, Terminal and Valley Railway (formerly the Valley Railway) in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

In February 1896, the CT&V acquired 2,500 feet (760 m) of riverfront along Columbus Road south of Center Street. Finished in June 1896, the steel-frame station was 50 feet (15 m) deep and 500 feet (150 m) long, with walls and roofing of sheet metal. There were 25 loading bays on the street side, and traveling overhead cranes facilitated the movement of heavy loads onto pallets or into freight wagons. The depot also featured five McMyler rotary car dumpers to facilitate the unloading of hopper cars carrying coal.

To connect the new freight station and docks with the main tracks, the city closed Lime Street. The total cost of the project was estimated at $500,000 ($14,700,000 in 2017 dollars).
