      @@RailfanRowan If you get up that way get hold of me, I'm close (Akron). If it's the right day of the week I can show you some spots on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic. But if you come up for NKP 765 in September you're probably going to be disappointed, the local cops block off just about every decent photo location in the Valley from the fans because the CVSR hates the fans; this is seriously true. If you're not buying a ticket they don't want anything to do with you, even if you bought a ticket for an earlier train. You should have stayed in Ashland another hour for the Southbound Auto-Train, usually through there 5 to 5:30 or so. Unidentified Amtrak train at 8:00 was almost certainly #81, Southbound "Silver Star".

Your best bet would be the “Fairport Train Viewing Platform”. There’s also tons of places to eat in a walking distance! You should definitely check it out! Also I live in the area and have many videos from there so if you want check those out to see what it’s like!
