Brier Hill, right? Β Erie Lackawanna used to have a small enginehouse and yard here. Β

Took some photos there back in the 1970s. Β I met my GF in 1986, she lives in nearby McDonald OH. Β We drove into Youngstown one day and went by the yard and it was deja vu when I saw it again. Β EL used to keep Baldwin diesel switchers there, and some of the relatively rare Lima-Hamiltons switcher worked there as well. Β EL's Alco Centuries and the Fairbanks-Morse Trainmasters were also assigned out there for iron ore trains out of Cleveland.

This is beautiful... seems so serene and peaceful. Like a quiet end to the glory it must have once been.

Thanks!
It's hard to believe that 40 years ago this was a major rail hub and steel producing town.

You know, that old spinner just might be put back into service some day. It might even fit a Gp40...

Hopefully, but i doubt it. It's sat unused for about 20+ years.

I wish I could have seen this one in action. Just one of the few reminders of Youngstown's once successful steel industry. There were a couple more but I can't find them.

I wanted it to look desolate since the area is so run down. The black and white was the icing on the cake.

I'll have to do some research, but I think it might have beonged NYC or P&LE. They both had lines through this area. Back in the day this area was full of steel mills.
