Another group from the Ted Nyerges collection - more slides.

Looking at the cars - this looks like early 1960s.'

Not sure if the city station shots are Cleveland or eleswhere...I notice a NYC passenger car in the background - not sure they road through Cleveland? I suspect they did - but also confusing was a shot of Madison Hardware in the same tray. But pretty sure I see the edge of the Terminal Tower in one shot.

There are one or two of another Nickel Plate engine as well.

Post if you recognize the locale - Thanks!

Most of these are of the NKP 2-8-4 759 upon return to service at Conneaut, Ohio, in September 1968.  It pulled an excursion that day.  The "blue train"  is the same 759 with the Golden Spike Centennial Limited in May 1969, westbound to Kansas City- probably in Cleveland.  NKP 755 is in the park next to the Conneaut Railroad Museum - still there.

Wow, I have to say wow. Though's are some nice history photos. I know my dad would know the photos from the bridge of where their located. As for the others, a few look like Conneaut. Anyway is photos you have, you can tell no trespassing wasn't a problem. Reminds me of the 1940's to 60's on Horseshoe Curve with photos and videos right in the track.

Those shots of the train at Cleveland Union Terminal are just, WOW!  Something that will never be repeated again.  The B&O, Erie, NYC, and NYC&STL all used C.U.T.  All off the "steam railroad" tracks are long gone.  That area of the terminal is actually a parking garage.  The Rapid Transit still serves the terminal on 2 or 3 tracks.
