Does anyone know if there are taxis waiting at Cleveland's Lakefront Station when the westbound Lake Shore Limited arrives in the early hours of the morning?

Or is it better to call one from the train?

(Also, does anyone have a "live" phone number for the ticket office? (216) 696-5115 only reaches a recorded message)

Thanks!

The current timetable shows service is available at the station, so there should be cabs waiting at the station. Often, the conductor will call the station a ways out to let the workers there know a better idea of when the train would arrive. If you can speak to a conductor possibly at the previous station, he might be able to give you a better idea.
Try the phone an hour before the arrival of the train. When getting ready for a train or after the arrival, employees will be busy with passengers. During these times the phone may be put on recorded answer.

Thanks Reggie. Stepping from a train in the small hours of the morning can make you really appreciate the beauty of a waiting taxi.

When we arrived in Cleveland on the Pennsylvanian a few months ago, there was one cab waiting.
