- Running NKP 2-8-4, 765 from Fitzwater Yard to Akron Northside Station on Sunday, September 26, 2021. This was the Deadhead move southbound on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for CVSR’s event “Steam In The Valley”
(2021) Others in cab: CVSR Pilot Engr., Mark Tobin, Fireman, Jon Jaros and Nashville Steam’s Joey Bryan. (Video recorded with permission on GoPro by FWRHS’s Kelly Lynch)
I'm always happy to find a new 765 cab ride video. Thanks for uploading this!
You look very much at home! I met Mark Tobin at Strasburg - very nice man.
Me in my element. The right hand seat was my office for years. Still get to enjoy it in my retirement years. 🚂🚂🚂
@@grantgeist495 Here's Mark lighting off 611. th-cam.com/video/rYBDvkjbKXY/w-d-xo.html
@@EditGuy6610 Don’t know who this is, but that’s not Mark Tobin (looks similar though) Tobin never had anything to do with 611. He’s an Engineer at CVSR
@@grantgeist495 Ha! Obviously an imposter! :)
throttle up
Glad to see Grant working.
Somebody has to do it 🚂🚂🚂
And it’s an honor to run Lima’s finest!

Hey pal. I just wanted to let you know that you have the date wrong cause 765 was in Bellevue on the 26th
You are correct, it was Sunday, September 19, 2021. Missed it by a week, sorry.
Does CVSR no longer go to Canton? How long are the 765 rides at CVSR usually? What is Rich Melvin doing since he retired from the engineer’s seat? I rode behind 765 twice in PA during the NS 21st Century Steam excursions. Horseshoe Curve and Lehigh Gorge. It’s a shame that NS no longer wants anything to do with excursions again but they will still let 765 and 611 use their tracks to get to other railroads where they can operate excursions for the public and without PTC.
Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad hasn’t run to Canton in many years. That trackage is owned by the Port Authority and has very limited freight operations under agreement with W&LE/Akron-Barbeton Belt. When CVSR ran Steam In The Valley trips, they were approx. 2-12/hour trips. Rich Melvin is enjoying retirement with grandkids.
Is the only place to ride behind 765 now is beyond Cedar Point at a town called Edon, OH and in Indiana and Michigan? I'm glad I rode behind it twice in PA in 2013 and 2015. Does it no longer go to CVSR? I live west of Allentown, PA and the 2015 excursion came to near Bethlehem, PA and went through Allentown to Pittston and back.
What is that bar hanging down that the engineer moves back and forth? That’s not the throttle or is that what they call the Johnson bar? What does it do?
I’m confused by your question? The bar “hanging down” IS the Throttle. Pulling it towards the Engineer opens it & pushing it forward closes it. The handle that is being moved forward & reverse, close to the cab window is the Power Reverse operating control … it’s similar to a Johnson Bar - controls the locomotive Cut-Off. the handle/lever that gets pulled down from the cab roof is the whistle handle.
