Cereal plant in Cleveland

[eje]

I'm fairly certain cars for the cereal plant come up from Rockport Yard on Cleveland's southwest side. Rockport Yard is located between the old CCC&StL and the old LS&MS near West 130th Street. The old Big Four used to run all the way to the NYC main just east of Bridge 1 near Whiskey Island. Around the mid-eighties the connection was broken north of the vertical lift bridge where Flats Industrial parks its locomotive, so all cars must come from the southwest over the Flats Industrial Spur (Conrailspeak). The cereal plant is about the only thing there on the Columbus Road peninsula; I wonder if the Flats Industrial switcher runs down to Rockport, or if there is an interchange at Cloggsville which is located where the old Union Terminal line ran through Wallworth Run heading toward Linndale and then Berea.
