🕺🏻ABOUT DJ: DJ is a locomotive engineer for CSX Railroad since 1999. He has built dozens of layouts, gave presentations for model railroaders, is a UA-camr, licensed drone pilot, and a great father.
I'm a little late to this party. How did I miss this one?? Anyway, several months ago I requested a trip up to Conneaut and there you are. You're the greatest DJ! Very glad to see this. That one remaining Hulett was slated to be removed and scrapped as the other's were, but was saved by some railroad historical society some years ago. The old archive footage of those things unloading ships was a marvel of ingenuity and design. They resembled huge mechanical dinosaurs. Sad the Hulett went the same way as the dinosaur. Thanks again for the amazing video shots!
Yeay, I’m glad you saw this. Sorry it took so long to get my butt up there but I spent most of May and into June trying to travel and show some stuff that was new to me and my viewers. The weather was perfect too.
Appreciate your exploring these old yards and docks.
Thanks. Great video. Old EL Country

DJ, absolutely awesome drone footage. It is so smooth and peaceful. Your explanations lend a great deal to the video. I really appreciate all you put into making these videos. I'm glad you were able to get away and film so many exciting places. Take care.
Now you are up in my area. I visit Conneaut and Ashtabula a lot. I remember the turntables in Conneaut back when I was much younger.
Go a little west to Ashtabula and on the northwest side of the CSX and NS crossing, you will see the remains of what was a roundhouse.
A little farther west (about 25 miles) and you come to Painesville where a local group of enthusiasts are restoring the old NYC station.
About 2 miles north in Fairport there used to be a turntable and roundhouse on the old F,P, & E (Fairport, Painesville, and Eastern) which is now NS. The FP&E diesel yard engines have been scattered with at least one of them in Jefferson on the AC&J.
Lots to see so come and visit us!
BTW, NS and CSX run very close together from Perry to Madison. Great place for watching trains.
Nice footage DJ! Thanks for sharing!
Cool to see you up in my old stomping grounds. Spent many days while growing up and visiting that museum! Cool!
Wonderful stuff! That Berk is gorgeous!!
I think so too!
Amazing drone footage!
Cool video, I really like the Nickel Plate footage. We had a Nickel Plate line run through locally.
Looks like you a great vacation,I look forward to more videos. Cheers
Fantastic footage DJ.
I know, I was excited filming it!
Awesome video!
Another great, informative vid, DJ .. I've been watching your stuff since 3:00 p.m. today .. and I'm old enough to remember all these road names .. obviously a fan. Thanks, and keep 'em coming.
Awesome!
Very. very cool DJ! We will be out in that area soon! Very cool tour, Thanks!
Have fun!
Great footage as always!
Thanks for watching Mark, and thank you for everything, my friend. You are a great person, friend, and UA-camr.
DJ, you are an amazing drone pilot. That’s fabulous footage. The one piece of equipment that used to awe me when I sailed on the Great Lakes was the Huellett unloaders…all gone now. Again, very informative video for modellers. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Andrew 👍🇨🇦
I wish I could have droned it decades ago
Very informative DJ. The drone footage is incredible. Take care. Sean.
I may have had a cheesy smile after filming, lol.
Sure would love to see a model of the ore docks with the old Hulett unloaders working away...what a cool set up that would be! Fun video in my neck of the woods😁
You and me both!
Excellent video, as usual! I spend alot of time riding around Conneaut on my Harley & you can usually find something interesting, even Amtrak first thing in the morning. Watching the backing-up skills at the boat ramp is always entertaining!
Nice video. Thanks.
Nice one DJ !!!
Thanks ✌️
Well done sir👍🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲🙋
👍👍👍great video
Nice looking video
Awesome footage
Thanks 👍
Yes great video lnteresting place in its day a very busy place so cool . To bad gas was not free could you lmagine THAT would be Gravvy 😂 tell the next video . Thxs be safe 🇨🇦🇺🇸👍🏻 Robin
Looks like taconite vice iron ore. That's what we used at ET. It has a lower iron content thus it is processed and balled into pellets (taconite).Great job on the BL&E docks. Appreciate the video
Hi DJ, Great Drone footage, it's always neat to see the various locations from above. Wonder what is under the giant tarp at timestamp 0:28? Can you image rolling up that tarp 😆Cheers, Rich S.
Great video and explanation. I don't think anyone else does this, especially in such an easy to understand way. Interesting that this video is preceded by an ad for Honeywell imaging drones with stealth deployment out of a truck - looks like and ad for Skynet : )
HAHA. Yeah, I have no control over the ads, but thats funny. I am trying to make the best videos on UA-cam. Hundreds more on my channel and more to come!
Awesome footage, as always!
Thanks for watching
Trains around the Lake👍♐♐♐♐♐
Great video! You have to love the birds . . . Everyone is doing what used to be their activity alone. You mentioned that the hopper cars would be gone soon . . . What did you mean by that?
They have scrapped so many of those old B&LE hoppers already. They are falling apart from age.
Love those preserved Berkshires. Got a couple up here in Michigan. One that will be operational once the drivers and rods are restored.
Thanks DJ that’s great stuff reminds me of back in the day when I used to travel around the Pittsburgh area and Ralph and I live in northern Michigan and can’t get there as often as I want really appreciate all the stuff you do out there and that’s great that you can get out and about in this beautiful weather thanks again and happy traveling🙏🏼🚂🚂
Glad you enjoyed it
Really cool, DJ! Is the Conneaut station on the Amtrak Lakeshore Limited? When we do long distance Amtrak travel, we get on at Syracuse, NY to Chicago for the connection. The NKP loco looks familiar. I always get off the train and check out the local displays of railroadianna. Our upcoming trip will be Amtrak to Savannah GA via NYC Penn Station. We get a roomette on the trains and our trip is paid for by Amtrak rewards (Bank of America) credit card. Cheers and keep up the fantastic vids! Bob
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT TRIP!!
Great shots DJ, was just up around the bay catching some NS. Thanks for the footage above the iron yard, I've been as close to it as I can get,, but can't get a view like you just gave us. Thank you...
I just subscribed to your channel.
go to my channels homepage and look at the PLAYLISTS. I organized my videos that way to make it easy for you to find what you are looking for. Thank you Paul!!
That engineer sitting the cab of old Bad boy 755 needs a name tag.....Lets call him DJ!!
I second that!
Amazing footage! I love the "ruins" so many larger yards have where the old steam-era turn tables and round houses were. My layout is to space-constrained for that kind of extravagance, but one day... :-) And the Conneaut passenger station and Nickel Plate 755 look great! Thank you for sharing, sir!
Yes! How sweet was that NKP!!!
To bad that the old wooden ore docks weren't still there. Or am I thinking of a different area? Port operations of any kind fascinate me! Thanks
that lima should still be running the rails!! hit the museum at bellevue?
We made it to the Conneaut and Meadville ones only this trip.
@@djstrains wasn';t sure you knew about it truthfully if you get the chance it's not bad, it's improved greatly over time!
755 may look to be in decent shape but she was heavily cannibalized to get either 765 or 759 up and running.
the Passenger and freight depots in LeRoy, NY also are right across the tracks from each other only much closer.
I see from your “future videos” you will be in my stomping grounds, just down the road from Meadville yard in Cochranton still stands an Atlantic & Great Western passenger station also used thru out the Erie RR times on the Oil City branch and not to forget the kickbutt Wye bridge in Oil City itself.
So much history in this area…
DJ, thanks for the awesome video, the swing bridge was something I have been trying to get some good views of, I am planning a B&LE N scale layout starting with the docks and heading down to Greenville.
Awesome
At 10:41 is that the ALCO S2 from Indiana ?
Been there. My wife and I took in that museum a few years ago. Did you see the old track map?
Wasn’t open yet
DJ, I think it would be really neat if yourself and CCRX6700 did a collaboration some time! These are some great areas to use for prototyping coal scenes on a smaller isolated railroad!
I’m always up for collaborations but I don’t hear back from people
Another great video,, getting great ideas for my soon to be layout. thank you . FYI ..you might want to check out Stephen Bennett you tube channel, he is out of Erie Penn. his son just hired on to Norfolk and Southern as a conductor.
DJ, how do current diesel locomotive engineers view steam locomotives? Are they viewed in the same manner we might look at a 1938 Ford classic car (just something neat to see) or is there a deeper affinity for the massive machines your forebearers operated?
I can only speak for myself, and say I have been in one in Georgia for about 15 minutes, and it was like being in hell. Thank God for AC and wide bodies.
Nice one DJ! Any idea if the URR North Bessemer job goes on duty at a certain time?
No idea
@@djstrains alright thanks was curious

Wait. When did the B&LE go away?
2000s
@@djstrains Aha. Do they still use their livery, though? I could have sworn I saw them in Butler in 2016.
