  • Various movements on the Cleveland Commercial Railroad, a dynamic short line operation over the old Erie mainline into Cleveland! Featuring CCR 2372, a GP39-2, and LTEX 2519, a former Santa Fe GP35u.

    It was so cool to see the shoreline running alongside the Norfolk southern. Those were my favorite angles. Great video!!

    Great footage from this shortline operation. Notice the rickety/wavy old tracks and the engines swaying around the 2:45 mark. I used to try & catch these guys this crossing Miles Rd just off 480 but never could. All that trash between the rails around 5:45 as the old UP (looks like the classic UP paint scheme at least) engine comes out of the junkyard is terrible. I'm fairly sure that old Santa Fe geep is the same one I photographed in Glenwillow, Oh. at Falls Junction Depot back in spring of '17 or '18.

    I like the idea of refurbishing old UP and Santa Fe trains.

    That Santa Fe unit is CLEAN! If only they took the LTEX patch off!

    The LTEX reporting mark means Larry's Truck and Electric. It's a place in Texas that finds old first and second-generation diesels, refurbishes them, and then either sells or leases them.

    WTF they switched 2372's horn position

    This area is a shadow of its former self. The Presence of FPT has provided business but it certainly hasn't beautified the area. The neighborhood is in a shambles, many homes are missing. On the west side of where FPT is now, there was the junction of 4 railroads. The only junction left is the northernmost one at CP Erie. Just east of the NS line (old PRR) the N&W/NKP/W&LE line split and junctioned with the Newburgh and South Shore. Both crossed the PRR within feet of each other. The N&SS also crossed the W&LE, to cross the PRR just feet north of the W&LE/PRR junction to make a double track connection with the Erie. The W&LE snaked its way through Slavic Village and across the Cuyahauga River. The N&SS Crossed above Broadway to Marceline Yard. The Erie crossed the PRR, and where it met the N&SS there was a small facility called Newburgh Yard. To top that off, The Cleveland Short Line (Now CSX) passed underneath the current scrap yard in a series of tunnels. Before the scrap yard was there, the site was Valley Mould (iron works), and before that, American Steel and wire occupied the side and an area on the other side of the PRR. The original scrap yard in the area was Weingold Scrap, located between E91st and E93rd, they were bought out and now the area is pretty much empty.
    It was a true spaghetti bowl of tracks, and at one time it had just about every feature of railroading imaginable.Currently, I think the only way in or out of that area by rail is through the current W&LE, all of the other connections have been cut. It's silly for the railroads to have done that with customer still on the line. OK, mainly NS.. I think most of those connections were intact up until the end of Conrail.

      Railroad features once in the west Union-Miles and Slavic Village areas:
      Mainline
      Complex interlockings
      Industry sidings
      crossovers
      Flat classification yards
      Interchange yards
      Turntables
      Roundhouses
      Tunnels
      Overpasses and underpasses
      Grades
      A mainline through a cemetery
      Passenger stations
      And just west of that, draw and lift bridges.

    are they a young railroad cause those tracks could really use some repairs

    • @worldwwwf
      @worldwwwf Před 7 lety +2

      I think they lease it from NS but I'm not sure.

    • @franks471
      @franks471 Před 6 lety +1

      Young? Those tracks likely haven't been maintained since the mid 60s when it was the NKP. Before that it was the W&LE, and on the other side of where that scrap yard is now, used to be the junction of 4 railroads. One of the junctions is still intact, at CP Erie.

    • @franks471
      @franks471 Před 6 lety

      I used to live a 5 minute walk from the scrap yard, I could see it from my window. I used to be much more interesting when it was the site where 4 railroads met.

    Why does the yellow train had a horn on top of the cab now its not on top of the cab

    • @silicon212
      @silicon212 Před 3 lety

      They move the horn to the long hood because it remains just as loud to traffic, but much quieter in the cab. The horn on the cab is freaking A loud inside the cab. On the long hood, not so much. Occupational exposure to the horn on the cab can cause hearing loss.

  • @fec852

    • @SolidCold

      window shop mood 654321123456 the santa fe is a LTEX locomotive

    • @silicon212
      @silicon212 Před 3 lety

      The LTEX has a 3 chime Leslie RS3L horn on it, very common on ATSF units for its time. The CCR unit has a K5LLA horn on it, a 5 chime most commonly found on EMD SD70ACe's. It's one of the loudest air horns around, and I am sure it has contributed to a number of cities adopting quiet zones.

  • @shootisttx15
    @shootisttx15 Před 7 lety +1

    Tracks at 2:40 a little wavy.....more ballast, maybe?

  • @windowshopmood

    A K5LLA FROM A SD70ACE?!

    • @silicon212
      @silicon212 Před 3 lety

      Why not? I've seen K5HLs (GEVO unit) horns on SD40-2s ... railroads can be pretty crafty.
