Annual Openhouse / Live steam
Posted by csxt30 on Tuesday, August 30, 2005 5:27 PM
Just in case there is anyone in the Northeastern Ohio or Western PA. or even N.Y. area, The Ashtabula, Cortland, & Youngstown Railroad is having their annual openhouse on Labor Day, Sept. 5th. I don't know the gauge, but they're not the real small ones, the rail is about 20inches apart or so & very heavy fat rail. I know one of the older ones was at an Amusement park in the 30's, at either Akron or Canton, in that area. You can picnic there & ride the trains. I went last year & lost the pictures I took, but will post some this time. This guys' house was actually a RR,depot & has an old caboose there among other stuff. The track goes way back in the woods, I'd say a good quarter mile, over trestles, & around a pond, if that section is done. Going around the pond will turn the trains, instead of backing up. If anyone is interested, just email me & I'll help you get there ! From Rt. 90, it's south on Rt. 11 & Rte. 6. Thanks, John Oh, just noticed they are 2 / 5ths. scale.
