Well after 13 years, the Grand River Railway began running a train for the first time on their newly-acquired tracks since CSX's abandonment in 2002.
The first portion of the video shows the crew switching in the Painesville Yard to get the hang of things as Q227 passes behind them.
CSX 2773 starts to shove four salt cars north to Morton Salt and quickly ran into a problem once it got to the downtown area of Grand River, Ohio: The patrons at Pickle Bills restaurant parked on the tracks. Since the tracks haven't been used in 13 years, the locals adjusted to using the trackage an extra space to park their vehicles. You can see throughout the middle of the video where a few vehicles moved as the train stopped and waited for them to move.
Once they moved, 2773 started shoving again towards Morton and from there the crew tied the train down and turned off the engine as they finished their first of many days to come.
