Grand River Railway Linking Fairport Harbor with the Nation HRZX 8420 red bay window caboose hop

Grand River Railway located conveniently in Grand River Ohio works the CSX Painesville Ohio CSX yard. They brought some sand cars from their transload. The cars are loaded with sand mined in Chardon Ohio and trucked north to the railroad. They had no empty cars to bring from CSX so they made a caboose hope north to Grand River and shoved empties north to the transload. These tracks are a combination of a New York Central line and the B&O Lake Branch. The bridge where the Lake Branch crossed into Fairport Harbor can be seen in the last scene.

That was a fantastic video!!! It was like operating a model RR layout but using real trains, people and scenery. May sound sophomoric but it was a great experience none the less. 👍👍

Thank you!! It was enjoyable to shoot, it would have been even better if my cards were clear and my batteries were charged. I wasn’t expecting to shoot anything that day but I heard the horn when I got out of work on Chester St.

Opening scene with the blue sky and last of the autumn colors very nice. Quite a large yard was this the former Fairport Painesville and Eastern? For A Short Line glad to see bigger customers and decent track and equipment. The remnants of the bridge were very interesting and the Drone picked up a good layout of the line definitely worth another visit

[@mr.boomer8794]

Line is former B&O Lake Branch up to just north of downtown Grand River, then the NYC built an extension to the salt mine in the 50's. FP&E was on the other side of the river

[@paulbergen9114]

@@mr.boomer8794 thanks. I've been in this area but it looks intriguing must make it a point to drive this way in the future

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you! There are a couple good books on the Lake Branch

[@whynotride327]

The bridge was a way to connect the FP&E with the B&O on the Grand River west side. The FP&E served the Diamond shamrock plant (closed in 1976) and IRC Fibers to the east. At one time (after NS took it over) a line was expended east to the Perry nuke plant. Some of that remains and you can see the R/W on Google Earth. The B&O was on the east side Grand River primarily bring coal north from down toward Warren. Lots of EM-1's are seen in photos from back then.

@@ScottTaipaleRail that's a bummer, the price was enticing. Thanks for the heads up 😊

Apparently, the company folded. according to the Ohio Business registry the company is listed as "Dead"

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Odd since they ran earlier this week

[@BiggHoss]

@@ScottTaipaleRail Their website is active, I wonder if they forgot to renew their buisness license. Or refiled it under a new name or category to include the transload ops
