THE CLEVELAND BELT AND TERMINAL RAILROAD COMPANY. The Cleveland Belt and Terminal Railroad Company was incorporated May 13, 1891 (Rec. of Corp., vol. 48, page 321), to build a railroad in the City of Cleveland from a point on the Cleveland, Canton and Southern Railroad in Newburgh in such a way as to connect with the other railroad lines in the city. The purpose is to furnish a speedy means for the transfer'of freight and passengers and do away with the system theretofore in vogue. October 15, 1891, the company purchased the railroad, roadbed, right of way, franchises and all real and personal property of every kind of the Cleveland Belt Line Railroad Company, and consolidated it with the line of its own. The company is controlled by the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad Company.
