Dumping train photos from the weekend

No seriously. There's a lot

I got to go to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad this weekend and I was in HEAVEN. The last time I paid a visit to CVSR was 6 years ago for Steam In The Valley, and although no steam locomotives will be back until 2025, I was still very happy to get to see and ride these trains.

Before I get bashed for the photos where I stood on the tracks, I was walking on a little trail that required you to cross over the railroad even though the signs say not to. They only have one train running all day and I was stalking its schedule to see what station it would arrive at and what time so I knew it was safe for me and others to cross. This was the Indigo Lake station btw, and I held up my family for a solid 10 minutes just so I could get more pictures of the train when it arrived. I still do not support the idea of farting around on or near tracks or outright walking down the middle of them like they're sidewalks like I've seen a lot of people do.

Safety rant aside, I got to stop by the Buckeye Express on the way home which was AMAZING by the way. Not just in terms of the food, that was delicious, but also because the restaurant is in a literal railcar.

I was too absorbed in all the train stuff around me to take pictures of the interior.

And here's some Steam In The Valley 2018 stuff I never dropped here, just for those steam locomotive lovers like me. As a treat.

I am punching myself for not realizing I only have 1 picture of Nickel Plate Road 765 and everything else I have are videos. I tried several times to upload them here but Tumblr will Not Have It.

And finally, I got myself a new train shirt because my "Who Tooted?" shirt is really starting to wear down after having it a year and a half. I gotta get me a new one. I also got a few bonuses because why not.

That's all I got for now :3

Steam train videos are up! You can watch them here, here, and here! This is my second time recording NKP 765 after waiting six and a half years. Camera is shaky, so I apologize for that. I was really, really excited. :)

Alright so we know a few days ago I talked about getting to see a steam engine soon.

Well due to severe weather and flooding my ride was cancelled. BUT. Later in the day they managed to get the railroad safe enough for the steamy. Still couldn’t ride bc tickets became invalid since they were for a different time (they’re working out a solution) but they did let me take pictures and videos. NKP 765 is such a gorgeous steam engine (I’m so happy her whistle blessed my ears today) so even though I couldn’t get a ride, just seeing the arrival and departure was more than enough to make me happy.

Despite knowing there’d be no ride, I still decided to dress for the occasion. Good ol’ “Who tooted?” shirt, an engineer hat from around 6 months ago, and a pin of NKP 765 herself on my shirt. There was a staff member taking pictures on one of the passenger cars and he called out to me and waved as he took pictures of the crowd, so that really lifted my spirits too.

I have videos I will post but because each one is 2-3 minutes each and I cannot trim them, they won’t be posted here directly. I will make a post linking my TikTok where I’ll post the videos there. Not tonight, though. I’m exhausted and have a splitting headache.

But I’m still happy :)
