Rocking on the Silver Plate Branch in Cleveland Ohio NS 5814

Filmed on the east side of Cleveland Ohio 3/28/23, NS 5814 on local C46 heads west on the branch after spotting cars at the only customer remaining on the Silver Plate Branch. This line was filled with warehouses and served by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad. More information can be found at groups.io/g/NY...
Also included is a quick slide show of the branch and where it connects to the NS(PRR). The New York Central connection is severed.
Also CSX 6062 leads a local through the tunnels in Cleveland.

Pretty neat looking old, red brick industrial buildings. Plenty of modeling ideas for an urban themed train layout.

Definitely was rocking there, nice 👌 catches

Too bad about all the closed businesses along that branch but one customer can keep it in operation. I love branch lines like this. Fascinating to watch switching operations.

I took pics of this line back in the mid-90s, when Conrail was serving it. There was a beverage distributor that received rail shipments at that time. That was the only industry I ever saw served, in my visits. Very cool to see traffic on it still!

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see a prototype for the bad track in my layout🙂

Great video and catch Scott

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Nice video and catch Scott. I remember working on track like that when I first started on the CP almost 30 years ago already. Enjoyed watching and have a wonderful rest of your Thursday.(Steve)

Fantastic video love the location....

Thank you

Excellent catch Scott!!!

[@kimberlyatwood5154]

I can’t believe the department of transportation approved this rail !!! Or maybe they don’t know about it!!! Great Engineer!!!

[@punchfisttop]

That is one wonky track! Great vid!!!

[@kennethboehnlein51]

Great family.

[@ryansansom6901]

I live in Cleveland, and didn't know that tunnel existed.

These are the Branch Lines serving an industry that probably is on borrowed time itself. Even on a sunny day there still is a feel of Gloom. We have one little section of old warehousing like this in Milwaukee and it probably has no more than two years left. Also loved the HO scale train in that cut. Excellent coverage thanks for taking the time to check it out

[@runnikee6986]

You must be a blast to talk to at parties 😂

[@1940limited]

A guy put a video on You Tube a few years ago showing his layout with bad track serving dying industries. It was pretty neat.

[@paulbergen9114]

@@1940limited interesting it sounds harder than doing it in real life

[@paulbergen9114]

@@runnikee6986 if you're in St Francis WI sometime there's a great dive bar called The Rails Inn where Blatz beer is still $1 a can at all times. There is a grade crossing of the UP former CNW passenger route by their back property line and I believe next winter is the anniversary of Milwaukee County's most deadly grade crossing accident of all time which occurred there in 1924. I've been thinking about holding a memorial service. Never a dull moment

@@paulbergen9114 HOLY CRAP, they still make BLATZ!??!??!?... remember hamms????... remember their old commercial with the animated bear... "...hamms the beer refreshing... hamms"

Good morning!

[@NWORails]

Those are some pretty views, I love it 😁

[@TheNorthwestWind]

so jealous

[@25mfd]

@ 00:10... reminds me of when i was a switchman... folks don't know that there can be quite a bit of paperwork to fill out if you work a wayfreight or a yard industry job... i would never write while the train was moving for the very reason you see in the vid... all that frickn rocking and hobblin' back and forth turned my writing into scribble 🤣🤣

[@OhioOutdoorWarningSirens]

Nice catch Scott! How often do they run this job?

[@wellgoiano]

Cara, esse trecho no início está bem disforme!!! 🤨🤨🤨

[@davidbarnett9312]

Nice slice of America on display. Yes, sarcasm. As a long-ago SP brakeman on the Hearne, Tx sub, I can tell you that those same scenes were prevalent on the road from Houston to Hearne and back on the local: dead businesses that once used rail to ship/receive, derelict buildings, old train stations mainly used by telegraphers for train orders for road crews, trashed out areas around the rails, speed reductions as the tracks and roadbed withered away because the SP didn't spend the money to keep said tracks/roadbed up to snuff. Now all we wake up to is yet another derailment and fire. This time it's in Minnesota.

[@amahsu1821]

Residents had to evacuate after strain loaded with ethanol derailed in Minnesota today, sparking a fire.

[@1940limited]

I wonder how many derailments happen on this line?

[@ryanwalston2794]

A tamper would be nice

[@rj4590]

Wouldn't even run a speeder on that track.
