Linndale station

Linndale was a train station in Linndale, Ohio. The station was one of two locations where electric P Motor engines took over operations from steam engines pulling into Cleveland Union Terminal. The switch was necessary due to the city of Cleveland's ban on steam engines near the downtown area.[1] The other station for engine switches was in the Cleveland neighborhood of Collinwood.[2]
