To Photos

This page carries photos from various locations in and around Northeast Ohio -- except for Berea, which has its own page.

Some of these locations currently covered by this page are Cleveland, Elyria, Lorain, Eastlake, Mentor, Willowick, Grafton, Wellington, Vermilion, Alliance, Warwick, Orrville, and Mansfield.

A Caution About Warwick: If you go to Warwick, in Clinton Village southwest of Akron, DO NOT go anywhere near Warwick Tower, the gravel area in front of it, or any of CSX's and RJCorman's tracks there.

Due to the antics of some so-called "railfans" who caused major problems, CSX has made Warwick Tower 100% off limits to rail photographers -- and they mean and enforce this ban.

You can get good shots from the restaurant parking area across from the tower (though you're a bit close to the tracks), and also from the Warwick Park just east of the tower area.

As CSX's MofW foreman told us when we were at Warwick recently: "Get some good pictures, but stay completely off all railroad property or we will call the police." And, from what we have heard from others, CSX seriously means this warning.
