- On 6-23-23 we finally managed to catch the Newburgh and South Shore Railroad. Their railroad only crosses one road at grade, E 49th st on the south side of Cleveland. Here they work Charter Steel which appears to be their biggest customer. The other roads they cross are all overpasses and underpasses. They are now owned by OmniTrax but they were an independent railroad which opened for business. They were a of the American Steel and Wire Company (US Steel), The line ran from the company's Central Furnaces (the area roughly bounded today by the Cuyahoga River, Interstate 490, and Broadway Avenue) and ran briefly south before crossing the Cuyahoga River at the now-demolished Jefferson Avenue Bridge. The track ran through the company's plant on the west side of the Cuyahoga, and recrossed the river near the now-demolished Clark Avenue Bridge. The line ran south (passing over Campbell Road and under Harvard Avenue) before turning east. After an at-grade crossing of E. 49th Street and the bridging of E. 71st Street, the tracks turned north at E. 76th Street into the company Newburgh Works, terminating at Aetna Road. American Steel and Wire merged with a number of other steel companies to form U.S. Steel in 1901. U.S. Steel consolidated the NSR with another subsidiary railroad, the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad, in 1951. Traffic on the road declined significantly after World War II, and largely ceased when U.S. Steel closed its Cuyahoga Works in 1984. The NSR sold 2.2 miles (3.5 km) of its main line to the Cuyahoga Valley Railway, and then closed on June 30, 1986. In July 1986, the track was sold to the Chicago West Pullman Transportation Co., now known as Omnitrax ( Wikipedia credit )
The crew works some covered hoppers, not sure what they'd load in those. Usually foundry sand is in 2 bays... And naturally they have gons as one would expect with a steel mill! This was late on a Friday so after the Charter work they headed east to the yard to tie down at the roundhouse.

This model railroad setup is amazing. It looks so realistic 👀🛤
Not a model railroad better put your glasses on and look closer
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
i lovesss my swithers and slug units
Interesting little railroad, great that you have found that one and filmed it for us! Thanks a lot, Scott!
So therapeutic - thank you Scott. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
That little loco has a mighty horn!
Brutus along for the ride.
Awesome video and catch.
Sure glad you caught this one. Very nice overhead viewing.
Very Cool!!! Thanks for posting!!!!
Great work! I’ve been wanting to catch these guys for years
Short line rail fanning at its best! Great stuff. Thank you!
Really superlative footage. Scott, you have a knack for capturing the best angles, drone shots and sequence your clips to provide a winning video. Watching this is heartwarming as it offers a great view of a factory and plants, American industry the way it was always meant to be. Thank you for this content, your channel is a rare treasure indeed.
This is a great switching video excellent drone footage
That was a really net old industrial landscape. I see there's even a turn table.
Love all this Industry, with Switchers and Trains running between, sorting Cars.
Absolutely Love it! Nice industrial short line, just switchin' back & forth. One of my favorite lokeys too, the old reliable SW's. After 60+ years, still doing what they were meant to do!
Thanks Scott...nice video!
Great job..research, editing and history!!!
Nice video. Looks like old rust belt vids.
Cool Train Awesome, 9:23
Pretty awesome video, Scott. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2024!
Merry Christmas Drew!
Thank you for sharing👍.
This is a good video. What I like best was the drone footage. Thanks for posting!
Excellent video. Thanks for the research.
Perfect for modeling roads in these areas!
Beautiful!!!!! Awesome video!
Enjoyed the video.
Great video of the vintage diesel locomotive, great drone footage. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas. Best regards
Good video and research.
That's one hell of a set of bugles the man has.
I too was wondering what could be in the covered hoppers, by the brown stain on the roof, could be sand. In the UK foundries use something called Fuller's Earth for casting, probably has a different name in the States.
Sand is too heavy to carry in 3-bay hoppers: the hopper would hit max weight at about 2/3 full, so they normally carry it in smaller hoppers. The brown staining is likely just rust. I think fuller's earth is known as bentonite in the US. Could well be that, actually -- I think it's a low-ish density product.
Amazing video. Best I’ve seen in a while 👍
Nice video
Great to see that from the air. Years ago I was up and down 49th, Grant, Harvard always looking for N&SS action.Usually just saw a switcher sitting idle some where off Harvard. Never knew there's a turntable too.
Great video, great catch! Love to watch the SW's and MP's work!
Awesome catch and very cool
NSR actually has 5 at grade crossings, but 3/5 are out of service, the other crossing of E 49th is also owned by NSR I believe (at least their website shows they own the track there). I love these types of videos though, your vids are some of the best out there!
The old girl was getting a work-out!
I believe at the beginning of the video you will see two yellow / white ish detectors. As the train passes through it. It is detecting for radiation. The hoppers are for Limestone.
Charter Steel uses electric arc furnaces, and I don't think those use limestone. They use either calcium oxide (lime) or magnesium oxide to form the slag -- so the hoppers could be carrying one of those.
This facility is not, if I remember is not a foundry. One of the former owners built an EAF and a caster to make billets for the bar, rod and wire mills. Contrary to Wikipedia, the N & SS's east end was at 92nd St. serving what was AS & W's Newburgh Works and Valley Mould and Iron.
I just read that Newburgh and South Shore acquired the first battery-powered locomotive in the state of Ohio.
Why they need hoppers in the steel meal stainless steel mill
I find it interesting that the industry has x-ray cargo scanners for trucks and railcars. I wonder what they ship?
The X-ray scanners are to prevent radioactive materials from being induced into the scrap charge for the EAF.
wow, excellent video quality and production!
Thanks for your videos.
question: what is your camera/lens? what program do you use for edit/color?
Like the "3rd rail" oil stain. They must be spending a small fortune keeping this old switcher lubricated.
I wonder what is leaking so consistently that there is a stain along the tracks across all of the tracks shown in the video.
