Toledo Lake Erie & Western Railroad In Grand Rapids, Ohio

Created on September 11, 2010 using FlipShare. The TLE&W (Bluebird) was giving rides across the 900FT + bridge in Grand Rapids, Ohio until we got rained out! We called it a day and headed back to park the motorcar/ motorcar train in the Grand Rapids yard. You can see our Whitcomb 44 tonner which is being worked on and work will be finished on it soon. The railroad crossing in Grand Rapids at Route 65 has a very old and rare teardrop bell on it! For more info on rides which are open to the public visit www.TLEW.org Video property of metraF40PH163.

@CSXandSpartanfan33 Yes, our tracks need work. We don't go that far with our train due to track problems near Grand Rapids Ohio

@CSXandSpartanfan33 No, not at all this is the Toledo Lake Erie & Western Railway which I am part of. We have owned the line for over 40 years it used to be owned by the NKP Railroad

@Automcanic No, the 44 tonner is land locked in Grand Rapids. The S4 (5109) is being worked on to run for next year. No, Bill is no longer our president anymore. The S4 should be running next year. We just want to get another engine running too. Thanks for watching!
