Eastern Railroad Discussion > Spring in Olmsted Falls, Ohio

Last Sunday was mostly sunny so I spent the day in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, along the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern in suburban Cleveland. There was a small flowering tree in the park next to the tracks that I tried to work into some of my images. Alas, it was a little too far back from the tracks and the lighting was never ideal for tree and train alike. But that didn't stop me from seeing what I could do with it.

Photo 4: Westbound 22K passes a budding tree. That is the former Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (New York Central) depot on the other side of the tracks.

Photo 5: Train 20R needed a motive power transfusion and the 17N was chosen to provide it. The 17N cut its power away from its train and went west to drop off a unit in the Berea siding. The rest of the 17N's power then went back onto its train and left town. The power for the 20R then went west to retrieve the extra locomotive from the siding. The power for 20R is shown running light eastbound back to its train.

Photo 6: I didn't get the symbol on this train, but I did notice that lead unit 7328 appeared to be freshly painted. It is former Union Pacific SD90MAC No. 8263. Behind it are a pair of BNSF units. The train is going east.

Thanks for the information. I missed the symbol.
