Eastern Railroad Discussion > Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad-Monday 11/11/24

On Monday November 11, 2024 I visited the Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad.
 
The crew went on duty around 6 am and began assembling their train for the day. The train departed the yard in Parkersburg, West Virginia shortly after 7 am. The Marietta Turn would be going all the way to Relief, Ohio this day.
Please follow along and enjoy the pictures!
