I have been a railway buff all of my life. As a small child, we "rode the
rails" from Ohio to Delaware to visit family. Later, my friends and I would ride our
bicycles down to the Nickel Plate station in Rocky River to watch the 700-series steam
engines thunder past. Talk about awesome!
On a recent visit to Cleveland's
Flats, I stumbled across the yard and roundhouse of the Midwest Railway
Preservation Society, a place I had wanted to visit for some time but had never
gotten around to. Two members happened
to be working there and invited me into the roundhouse to look around. Wow!
To a train buff, it was hallowed ground.
These are just a few of the many photos I shot that
day. Hopefully there will be many more
as I plan to return.
The organization's website, which is under construction, may
