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.

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.
