Viewing Album: Ontario Trains Guy Visits Norfolk Southern Bellevue Yard - May 9, 2013.
By:
Neil Barratt
Dates:
5/9/2013 - 5/9/2013
Album Info:
Our annual bicycling/train chasing/antiquing pilgrimage took us to northern Ohio, where my wife and I bicycled around the towns along the lake, from Port Stanley, Ontario, through Toledo, Port Clinton, Bellevue, Marblehead, Sandusky and Ashtabula, Ohio. Through a totally weird series of coincidences and chance encounters with friendly locals, we were advised to head to Highway 4 and 20, where the Norfolk Southern Bellevue Yard is located. I didn't quite know what to expect, but was blown away by all the train action in the yard on this beautiful spring morning. We also found out, from a MofW worker below the overpass where we were perched, that a steam train would be coming through the area later in the day. So we were lucky enough to catch Nickel Plate Road 765 steaming into Bellevue just after lunch.

Sharp looking trio has just finished humping a string of cars. I count about two dozen locos in this shot. (Like a kid in a candy store).

Title:
NKP 765
Description:
Steam in action! What a great day! You haven't seen anything until you see, and hear, and smell, a steam train in action, particularly when in a scenario reminiscent of the golden age of passenger trains.
