| PC 9562 leads a short train off the elevated main and down the ramp to the Kent St. yards, just crossing Platt St. (visible under the second car). Plymouth Ave. is down the street to the left, out of sight. The Alling & Cory building (blue with white lettering) was once considered for incorporation into the new baseball stadium (Frontier Field), much like the B&O warehouse in Baltimore. The side facing the track (visible behind the first boxcar) was to be just outside of the left field wall. Alas, a mysterious (?) fire gutted the structure and it was subsequently leveled. The three headed signal (barely noticeable above the first brown boxcar) was almost continuously lit as red over red over red. Although Platt St. remains today and this shot can be replicated, the new view will yield only the exterior of the baseball stadium - home plate is somewhere under the ramp. ... and Kent St. itself no longer exists. |
