Akron and Ravenna, OH: 6-6-09

On the sixth, Rich and I spent the morning in Akron and the afternoon in Ravenna, awaiting the arrival of 11K with engineer Dave Mangold and conductor Greg Gucwa, which was supposed to be the next train out after 25Z if switching wasn't necessary in Conway. Little did we know that 11K wouldn't arrive until 6pm, three hours after 25Z's arrival.

Haha, thanks, Kodi! The only two autorack trains I know of on the Cleveland Line are 19Q and 18N, plus one other that I can't recall the symbol and often has CSX power.

Nice camcorder ya have there, it does a great job, your vids are proof of that. I use a Panasonic SDR-S7. It's ok, but the zoom on it is really fast, too fast I think. I slower the zoom, the better the end result is I think. Thanks for the info Cody!
