I didn’t feel like going on a long-distance railfan outing on a recent Sunday. Besides, the skies were overcast in Northeast Ohio Sunday morning, but the forecast called for sunshine in the afternoon.
So, I decided to go visit an old friend, Berea Tower. I don’t get out to BE as often as I used to. There are too many places to railfan in this region. But rumors continue to swirl that the tower will be razed sometime in the near future so I figure I better get some photographs while I can.
While in Berea I also caught up with fellow Akron Railroad Club members Alex Burchac and Dennis Taksar. Alex reported that the NS Lackawanna heritage unit had gone by earlier, but it was trailing and it caught him by surprise.
Shown here is a selection of some of the color that I saw pass by BE during my Sunday afternoon stay.
