Steam & Excursion > NKP 765 Crossing River Styx Trestle

Mike Ondecker and I caught NKP 765 heading west over the N&W (Ex-AC&Y) River Styx trestle in River Styx, Ohio on June 25, 1983. As we were both much younger then, we scrambled up the steep hillside from the road below. Going down was even scarier. Now, I'd be more careful, but back then we both took far more chances.

Nice !  Sure looks like it was worth the effort.   Great Shot.

Very nice!

Nice photo!

Has the line on which this excursion ran been abandoned?  I looked up River Styx on Google Maps to see where it was located.  The mapping did not show any railroad line passing through the community.

This is now the Wheeling & Lake Erie Akron Subdivision bridge over the West Branch of the Rocky River, just southeast of Medina, Ohio.

Great shot on the bridge !
We must have passed each other somewhere on this excursion.
I rode it one day and chased the next.

Worth the climb!

But I do remember my Geology Field Methods professor reminding us that the really bad falls happen on the way down the hill. Good advice there.
