The Grand River Railway operates irregularly and probably not at all on Sundays.
So when I visited Grand River, Ohio, a while back in search of winter photographs, getting a train wasn’t on my expectation list.
We were actually hoping to find a switch engine out in the open that the GRR had been leasing, but it was nowhere to be seen near the Morton Salt Plant where the railroad stores its motive power.
But the trip wasn’t a bust because while in Grand River the town to make some images of the ice-covered Grand River the river, I liked how the snow was covering up the rails in some places.
The top image was made at a grade crossing that leads to a city park and a few private businesses. It has been a while since a train ran here.
The middle image is looking toward the street running in “downtown” Grand River. Note Pickle Bill’s restaurant on the right, whose entrance is by the tracks. Also note the boats in winter storage in the distance.
The bottom image was made from River Street, which ascends a hill alongside the tracks. The view is looking southeastward.
