NS 5815 was the days power for Norfolk Southern local C46 which works the Silver Plate branch 3 days a week. On this run they had one empty centerbeam to spot and 3 loads to pull from the only remaining customer on the line Cleveland Industrial Warehouse. The PRR had over 20 customers in 1.2 miles on this branch before the 1950's. You can still see evidence of 4 just on this one block. We first caught them pulling west by the industry at E45th st. I should have quickly relocated east to E49th st but I did not realize at first that they would have to pull down that far to get 3 cars out of the industry. We relocated to E33rd st to see them shoving back to the main. But they had to wait on NS 7266 leading CP and KCS power on a sand train before getting on the main. Then we headed west of downtown and they Cuyahoga River to catch them shoving into the yard on Whiskey Island. We stayed on the bridge to shoot a westbound mixed freight train and an eastbound local.

Interesting to see welded rail on lightly used industrial trackage. Guess it was installed in busier times on the branch. I enjoy seeing urban switching jobs and the designs of the various buildings serviced.

You need to see the HG line NS just put in welded rail dead end line just one customer three days a week and the customer is not near the dead end at the dead end is a scrap yard sometimes ship out I say something big is a coming for NS to spend that kind of money.

I’m not sure when they put in new rail. This branch has dwindled down to one customer. Possibly just cheaper to use rail removed from the main nearby?

It is actually what NS now calls a GP38-3 and it started life as Southern #7062, a GP50, back in November of 1980!! Guess you could call it a demotion instead of a promotion!!

@@ScottTaipaleRail The GP50's had a lot of issues with the 645F3B prime mover, so, to increase the life of the unit, remove the turbo and turn back the fuel rack setting so it reduced the stress on the motor. They last longer that was!! When EMD came out with the 710 prime mover they cured a lot of the issues!

It's amazing how if you move a few feet in these Industrial environs it takes on a whole new look. This was some top-notch video and captured stuff that really nobody else is covering. The light being bent as it comes out of the siding was great and the sun's positioning probably couldn't have been better. Just looking at the old steel roll up door with the siding coming out of it and the switch in the street that is just such cool stuff. Even though in 1996 it had the newer look to it the Cleveland produce terminal had quite a bit of trackage in it at one time and I was not even aware of this old Industrial Park. The train even looked apprehensive backing up Crossing that Barren Empty Street with the old Steel Bridge in the background. That scene just evoked that feeling of a disappearing scene in America. Felt right at home with the Motive Power with those silica cars is it undoubtedly passed through Milwaukee add enclosed with that nice freight run by. There was some real great quality in this video to be proud of

Thank you! I really wish I could have seen the produce terminal what that place was in full swing… only a few track left and only used as a MofW base as far as I can see. Another RU-vidr did catch them loading a couple cars with bridge parts in there last summer.

@sanddabz5635 9 месяцев назад
100% agreed. The produce terminal track spur, I guess that's what it is from reading your comment, but it's like an outdoor natural history industrial museum kinda, it's like the bones and relics of a long gone industry, something you would see in a museum but here we see it in its real setting, bones of old rail no longer used, rusted rolling doors and large brick structures with decades and decades of stories to tell and the lives that worked in them. It speaks to an era of bygone American might and simpler times. I would have loved to see that and it's hay day.🙂

@@sanddabz5635 the only time I ever did any intense railroading in Cleveland was the last several months the Hulett unloaders were working so that's like 1995 or 96. The produce yard was a lot of older buildings with rolls of tracks to unload cars adjacent to roadways and there were like two rotten wooden Fruit Growers Express cars there yet. A quarter century and a lot has changed but possibly someday might be able to get back there again. These tapes really bring out the obscure and the areas that still have industrial feeling

Thank you! I keep shooting pictures of the building in this neighborhood because they are rapidly disappearing. We spent the 1st exploring another NYC industrial track that has probably been gone since the 70’s. Maybe 100 feet of rail buried under trees at one warehouse was all that is left plus the way the structures curve and bridge over where the line meandered.

@beeble2003
@beeble2003 9 месяцев назад
Watch Danny Harmon's video on foreign power. Basically, it used to be that when a train passed from one railroad's territory to another, the first railroad took its locomotives off and it continued under the power of the second railroad. These days, they usually keep the locomotives on and just swap the crew. Each railroad keeps track of the mileage their locomotives have done on each other's trackage, and they bill each other for the difference.

Hi Scott, do you have maps of the the Silver Plate Branch? I have detailed maps of the area from 1925. If you want a copy, I'm glad to forward them to you. I used to walk from the St. Clair East 55th RTA bus to WJW TV where I worked as a high school kid on South Marginal Road in 1978. I remember seeing Penn Central F7As and other locos stored behind WJW TV's back parking lot on the running tracks. As time went on I researched the area of the PRR and LS&MS/NYC through old maps and by just walking around that area as a teenager in the 70s. I was brave as that was not the nicest neighborhood then but I was a track runner, I was fast back then. I'm slow today. Thanks for the videos. It's nice to see them.
