Central Parkway railing and subway vents along Colerain Avenue north of Brighton Corner, looking north. These vents were for the subway tunnels below Central Parkway. They appear to continue for a significant distance past the end of Colerain Avenue. This is the first of several places that Colerain Avenue was severed by I-75.
Close up of the subway vents along Colerain Avenue north of Brighton Corner. These vents were for the subway tunnels below Central Parkway. They appear to continue for a significant distance past the end of Colerain Avenue. The openings into the subway tunnel itself have been bricked in.
Subway ROW behind Showcase Cinemas in Bond Hill, looking northwest. The fence line at the north/east of the Showcase Cinemas property approximates the route of the subway line through this area.
Subway ROW behind Showcase Cinemas in Bond Hill, looking northwest. The fence line at the north/east of the Showcase Cinemas property approximates the route of the subway line through this area. It appears that the actual route ran between the fence and the small hillside behind these houses.
Subway ROW behind Showcase Cinemas in Bond Hill, looking northwest. While there is not much visible grading here, the open area between the fence and the woods appears to be the route.
Subway ROW along the east edge of the Showcase Cinemas property in Bond Hill, looking north. This clearing, just north of Ross Avenue and west of Section Avenue was the approach to the Section Avenue tunnel, which was demolished.
Subway ROW along the east edge of the Showcase Cinemas property in Bond Hill, looking south. This clearing, just north of Ross Avenue and west of Section Avenue was the approach to the Section Avenue tunnel, which was demolished. The tunnel used to be at the edge of Ross Avenue, about where the building in the distance is now. This is looking towards the vantage point of the last picture.
Approach to the west portal of the Forest/Zumbiel tunnel for the never completed subway in Norwood, looking southwest towards the B&O line that runs through Norwood.
West portal of the Forest/Zumbiel tunnel for the never completed subway in Norwood, looking east along Harris Avenue. This tunnel, which stretches from this point east to Waterworks Park, lies mostly underneath the Zumbiel Packaging Company. The left tunnel portal has been sealed off with concrete, but the right one is still open. Sewer and/or water line work is going on inside the tunnel.
East portal of the Forest/Zumbiel tunnel for the never completed subway in Norwood, looking northwest from the baseball field at Waterworks Park. Again, the north tunnel has been sealed off with concrete, but the south tunnel is still open. Some temporary lighting can be seen on the left side of the tunnel, where sewer and/or water line work is going on. The tunnel curves gently to the left, so it's not possible to see to the other side.
Possible subway tunnel under the old PRR connection to the B&O line on the east side of Norwood's Waterworks Park, looking east. This single tunnel does not match that of the rest of the subway's construction, however, this could be because this railroad line was built after the 1920s. This is also exactly in line with the subway line's route to Oakley. The fact that there's only one tunnel here seems a bit odd, but its construction is not consistent with pedestrian underpasses.
Close up of the possible subway tunnel under the old PRR connection to the B&O line on the east side of Norwood's Waterworks Park, looking west. The height of the tunnel, as well as the ledge on the right side, make it appear to be a transit tunnel, as opposed to a pedestrian one.
