    3. My brother took a trip when he was about 7 [in 1950]. He wrote: We boarded the B&O (Baltimore and Ohio) in Cambridge behind a steam engine and switched in Columbus to the New York Central behind a diesel for the trip to Springfield. I asked him where the depot was. "The depot was located between the viduct and the tunnel. You could hit the depot with a stone from the viduct. They also used to station a switch engine close by the depot. I stood in front of it once which is when I decided I loved big steam engines on wheels. One of our auto parts stores that we visited often was jsut east of the viaduct; almost underneath it and I nearly always stood along the tracks while Mom or Dad went to get their parts." I think the viaduct was in south Cambridge below Montgovery Wards. I can't place the tunnel my brother was referring to. Can anyone help? Brian L.

    3. Good morning, Well the viaduct is still there and so is the train depot. They use the depot for other business' now but it has been restored. The viaduct has changed over the years but it is still pretty much the same today as it was in 1950. It is located in the west part of Cambridge. You can cross the viaduct and get on RT. 40 west. I have an old picture of the depot, but its not a very good one. One can view the tunnel if coming East on Rt. 40, just before coming into Cambridge. During the Winter months, it is easy to see. I have been wanting to take a picture of the tunnel but as of yet, haven't. Sure wish I had a better picture to send to you. I will do some searching, as I might have a post card of the train station and of the old viaduct. Betty W. of Guernsey Co. Oh. My brother took a trip when he was about 7 [in 1950].
