Hey guys,
The Beaver Falls Bridge replacement taking place has caused some trains to be rerouted onto the ex-NKP which rarely sees daylight trains because the Lorain Drawbridge doesn't have a first trick operator. However, because reroutes were going to occur, they added one for the month it will take to replace the bridge. So, after waiting for 145 to clear, 870 rolls east over the Rocky River in Rocky River, Ohio. Shown below:

I'm told they might leave the operator on for a little longer after the bridge is replaced due to increased coal traffic. So, if you can, try and get some rare daylight shots on the ex-NKP.
