Up until a couple weeks ago the Cleveland and Cuyahoga Railroad (CCR) had been leasing the Cleveland Sub from Glenwillow Ohio to Cleveland from the W&LE. The W&LE took back the lease and now they send a local 663 out of Akron to pull the scrap steel from Cleveland. I've read that it goes to an electric arc mill on in Mingo Junction Ohio so the move will be more profitable if only handled by the W&LE. On 6/16/23 we got to Cleveland just in time to see WE 107 the AC&Y heritage engine departing Ferrous with 7 loads of various grades of scrap. We followed the to Kent getting several locations along the way. We missed the Bedford depot shot thanks to construction along the auto mile.

Hi nose GP35's, ex Nickle plate road. The AAR trucks were part of a trade in EMD did back in the early days to save the railroad money. I always liked the Akron, Canton & Youngstown throwback, since the AC&Y ran through my back yard as a kid. Excellent video.

No engines on the W&LE are NKP engines. They came from the N&W, Southern and Rio Grande.

I like viewing short line operations but I do wonder if their is a “ fuel conservation “ program in effect, the right-of-way has had some nice attention given to it, good video and sweet family, 👍 …

A great set of power with those GP35s on those classic Alco trucks plus the old junky Freight cars. Some modeler would have a field day with the last two cars being either reject coils or what's left after slitting. Thanks for taking the time to chase this obscure line. As a retired bus driver that was a poor safety stop. To me looking for and waiting for a train was a treat during the workday

awesome catches Scott and to see GP-35 on Alco wheels cool 🙂

Using wife's phone today not her opinions As I'm sitting next to my wife she is asking why I'm bouncing up and down all excited I'm like look look at how well those locomotives are maintained they are as old as me and still in revenue service and running long hood with a high hood is just so Uhm nostalgic perhaps great video much appreciated

@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530 Год назад

Fantastic video and two interesting diesel locomotives. Excellently filmed. Thank you for showing me.

Fascinating video. The best kind of railroad; low speed operation on bad track hauling scrap metal. Really neat. I loved the trestle over another 2-track main.

@djmiller232 Год назад

That bridge over the double-track is in Kent. There's a walking path right near there that you can see if you look on the other side of the river at 9:30.

@RTS4018 Год назад

Excellent double high hoods. Great footage.

Great video Scott!!!

Nice chase hopefully I'll get him sometime this summer

@ikonseesmrno7300 Год назад

You know, if someone didn't want those shiny rolls of sheet steel, I would have gladly taken them off their hands.😁 Great vid! It's interesting to see the old U boat trucks still putting on milage. Regards!

@kerryrock9248 3 месяца назад

Not U boat, Alco.

This is why it's always a crap-shoot to gain trackage rights or leasing right-of-way (depending upon the fine print, of course). The lessee is at the mercy of the owner and as soon as a new customer comes along and the economics change... take it back.

@kerryrock9248 3 месяца назад

Correct! The Old Man saw they were making money and kicked them off. Much like what he did to the Orrville trains that he used for PR purposes.

@1940limited Год назад

It looks like 4 loads of aluminum, one cast iron and two steel. Nice looking locomotives.

@b.d.cooper8671 Год назад

The bus running the rails wasn't a good look if that was a city bus.

@1940limited Год назад

I'd have stopped to watch the train! I go over a grade crossing 4 times a day, 5 days a week and never see a train but the rails are shiny so I know it's in use..

@b.d.cooper8671 Год назад

@@1940limited I know the feeling as I barely get to see any trains and what little bit I get to see, I cherish.

@willwhite1967 Год назад

Great video. Howabout adding location captions ?

@ryansansom6901 11 месяцев назад

Great video, that bus driver is a moron. If new steel coils are not sold in a certain amount of time the mill had to take them back and re melt them. My cousin did this job at the steel mill for a couple years.

@chessie8583 Год назад

What's the story on taking back this line?

@kerryrock9248 3 месяца назад

The Old Man realized he could make more money from it and kicked the shortline off.

@kerryrock9248 3 месяца назад

Just as noisy as when they were new! Nice to look at and run because they have a control stand that you can run in either direction.

@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan 11 месяцев назад

Amazing heritage unit what does AK&Y stand for?

@kerryrock9248 3 месяца назад

AC&Y the old Akron Canton and Youngstown railroad where this train starts from. They also have an engine that has the P&WV for Pittsburg and West Virginia.
