Eastern Railroad Discussion > Flats Industrial Railroad - Cleveland OhioDate: 07/09/19 13:20 Flats Industrial Railroad - Cleveland Ohio Author: erielackawanna Back on May 6, thanks to the guidance/help of TO members, I was finally able to catch the Flats Industrial working. I got up before dawn and made sure I was at the Carter Road grade crossing on the Flats Industrial at sunrise to catch them shoving back with cars from the Norfolk Southern for Cereal Processors. Sure enough the bridge was down when I got there and after a fairly short wait, the train appeared at the crossing just as the shadows began to clear. They switched Cereal Processors quite efficiently and were done for the day, locked behind the gate, within less than an hour.
First two images are of the train shoving over the Cuyahoga draw. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/10/19 17:11 by erielackawanna.

I had spent those formative early grade school years outside of Cleveland but we would go into town for big shopping events. I recognize many of the buildings and bridges in the background.
