Not AFAIK. most of the Orange Line was built on surplus mainline ROW as the Class Is cut back multiple mains. IINM, some is ex GTW, some ex B&OCT, Entertainingly this mimics the Cleveland Rapid (Red Line) which though not opened until the 50s was "provided for" in the 30s by the Van Swearingen Bros,who were both real estate developers and RR barons. They owned or had influence through complex holdings, C&O, NKP, W&LE, Pere Marquette, some piece of the Erie, MP, Shaker Heights Rapid Transit (now the Blue and Green Lines) and spearheaded the Public Square, Cleveland Union Station project.
