IBCX 5152 leads 7225 on the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad. The train has just departed Haselton Yard in Youngstown when they roll by my camera at Powersdale Ave. This line makes a big loop going NW out of Haselton to turn south. They slowly climb the grade so getting ahead of them a the Gibson St overpass is rather easy. Then we relocated to E Indianola Ave where they are now facing south. Normally they've notched down by here but with the large storage train, the rear half was probably still on the other side of the grade. The drone went ahead one street to shoot them at E Florida Ave. I had to skip several miles of good locations since the Poland area is congested and the train creeping through absolutely snarled traffic. We shot them again at E Harvard Blvd where some of the best fall colors were along the railroad. Next up is the North Lima locations. Here is the base of Y&S operations as well as Crouse Mills True Value which has the boxcars and caboose. These cars are actually part of the store now and house their G scale trains for sale. Crouse Mills sells way more than trains, we find unique and useful merch every time we visit. Definitely worth visiting! We skipped ahead to Columbiana and filmed them at E Friend St. The south switch of the siding has been removed since we were last here. That last spots we filmed were Metz Rd and Kelly Park Rd before heading home.
