Early 90s. They are building a hiking trail over it, you can already see the beginnings of it in the video. It will be there for a long time to come.

@@fredstuckmann I was hoping they would utilize it, it's a Very Kool structure, and would hate to see it bulldozed like all the rest of our area history. I heard they were building onto the rail trail around town, didn't know this part was included. I ride quite a bit and always Dug the trails around here, so much rail is gone now,which I know you are well aware, I remember over by the coaling tower and when the EL ran through there,albeit the waning days of it, being double tracked and even that part that went over to Hazel st. Thank You Mr. Stuckmann. Will continue to watch these videos.

@@jonowens460 The history that's been lost in this area is mind boggling. 5 railroads, 4 of them working 24/7 (EL, BO, PC & ACY) and the A&BB working 2 shifts a day back in the mid 70s. EL had some 25 to 30 trains a day. We had 2 locals to Barberton, Wadsworth and Rittman and an occasional stop in Tallmadge. EL's McCoy St. Yard had 4 crews and was also 24/7. Thank you for your support sir.
