Beautiful photography from the get-go. Scott you racked up another breath taking video!!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you so much

[@MikeyDee25]

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. 👍👍

[@jamesnichols2188]

Nice horn thanks for sharing

That’s really cool, I like seeing those drone shots as it looks like it’s a model railroad haha

Awesome video, Scott! Glad you caught us on a busy day. Now that I know it's you, I'll make sure to wave next time

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

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.

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
