Night Operations Inside and Outside

It’s May 3, 2007, in Olmsted Falls. The Cuyahoga Valley and West Shore Model Railroad Club is holding an operating session inside the former Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (later New York Central) passenger station that it owns.

As trains run on the club’s various layouts inside the depot, trains are running outside, too. The station is located next to the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern.

I was there that night with a tripod to try my hand at making some night photographs. That streak in front of the station is a westbound NS train.
