I watch a lot of recent rail activity, this is a cut above the rest, beautiful scenery, photography and subject matter, nostalgic and yet recent- true artistry, EXCELLENT!!!!

There’s a very good chance I’m one of the conductors in this video. I was working the Cleveland job pretty much right after we got the line to Cleveland back.

If it was a nice Monday or Thursday I was almost always out.

Does the Wheeling look for already promoted engineers or from your conductor craft?

I appreciate the nice weather/green foliage videos. It reminds me of warmer times coming up. As I sit here freezing.

Sweet video!

Nice! There's got to be a story behind that geep riding on AAR Type B trucks. Also, do you have any footage from farther up the line in Cleveland, or has it all disappeared under that Morgan's Run (?) bike path?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

It's a bike trail past the former location of Harvard Tower where it once crossed the PRR (now NS). The tracks are active as far as E 93rd St, which is only a couple blocks from the cemetery. If you're looking on Google Maps the stone place on E 93rd is getting rail service again, and the Wheeling delivers empty gons and takes scrap steel from Ferrous Metal Processing on Aetna Rd.
