A "Steamy" Weekend in Youngstown
Author: NS62590

After the 3rd wettest June in the city's history, we finally got to some summer weather in Northeast Ohio this past weekend. Oh... this is a train thread? That's right - not my meteorology classes.

Well - steamy describes not only the weather, but the railroad in the region this past weekend too. The NKP 765, as you all know, paid a visit to Youngstown this weekend for its excursions to Ashtabula. I got the opportunity to chase it both days with mostly beautiful weather. Here's the results of the chase from both days.

1) My favorite photo of the entire weekend was my first - just starting out on Saturday, NS 958 (the symbol used for the excursion) just getting onto the Youngstown line, knocks down the signals at CP-Valley. Photo taken from the Madison Avenue Expressway.
2) One of the most common spots (even though there were many) was Bell Wick Road in Hubbard.
3) Combined both of the videos I did. One open field shot from Rt 147 (Hayes Road) in Trumbull County fading into the start of the grade out of Ashtabula.

7) Wide soy bean field shot (same as from the video - but Sunday, with more sun!
8) Open field shot with smoke!
9) Coming back into Youngstown from the East Federal Street bridge on Sunday dropping off the passengers after a successful weekend!

A HUGE thanks to NS and the Fort Wayne Historical Society for this weekend - the cops were VERY nice to all the railfans out and about, and it was truly a great weekend. Got to meet many new faces, put faces to names, and hang out with old friends. Hope you all enjoy the shots as much as I enjoyed taking them! Thanks for looking!
