Great video, I live about twenty minutes from here on the west side. I was here back in 86' when Conrail ran here with my model railroad club. And they where restoring a passenger car for a private owner. Man that thing was nice it was like stepping back in time.

@Nbuilder1 Thanks. Collinwood is just a shell of its past. Miss the Conrail days.

Nice video. I visited this yard with some friends for a school project back in the early 90's when it was still Conrail.

This place is dead we used to play here as kids back in the 70's and this place was a madhouse of activity.Now at night its just blacks and drugs its a real shame how cleveland has ended up.

I had a really good friend that worked for Conrail. Back in the early 90's. And you are right after the split up to CSX and NS Collinwood is not what it used to be. I wanted to make a documentary for my video class in college but the guard turned me away. I guess since 9/11 stricter regulations are in effect.
