My friend Jon in Cuyahoga Falls thinks it would have been in Kent at OET, Old
Erie Transfer. It's logical I guess. I was there last year, there's still a
lot visible around there, including rails.

I think there was a place the both RR's. could get on each other's rails at 
Leavittsburg. I think there was a crossover between both roads just south of 
South Leavitt Road on the First District's eastward main, not too far from the 
piggy-back ramp. Steve Timko probably would know.
