Steam Meets Thrill: Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad
For over 60 years, the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad has remained a favorite of all ages and hauls on average over one million riders per year over approximately 1.3 miles of track. The CP&LE holds a wealth of history and distinguishes itself as one of the few amusement parks in the country that operates coal-fired narrow gauge steam locomotives.

The Hulett Iron Ore Unloaders operated for 80 years, and two were scrapped in the year 2000, while the remaining ones were dismantled for future preservation. After 24 years of rusting away,...

Cleveland's Iconic Terminal Tower

The Terminal Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in downtown Cleveland. Some even consider it a symbol of the city. But did you know that when it was built, you could once board an intercity passenger train from the terminal? But why did the passenger trains leave the station in the first place?

On December 8, 1909, Anchor Line's package freighter SS Clarion was heading down-bound Lake Erie in a winter gale when a fire was discovered in her cargo hold off Point Pelee, Ontario.

The history of the Cleveland Terminal & Valley Railroad Depot
Beautiful bridge!
Seems like there are many native Cleveland Residents here. We all love rail, we all understand the utility, and the benefits of it. Call your congressman, call the senators, call Amtrak and be a BURDEN to them. We need a train between the three C’s, we NEED more intercity rail. The number one thing you say is for every DOLLAR SPENT, the return is up to FOUR DOLLARS. Be. A. Burden. Until they get it done.
I only ever see Judy and Myron running
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great documentary, loved the insider history. Thank You! - Happy Rails …🚂💨💨
CP AND LE really is a retirement resort for locomotives.
thank you so much for this
So what happened to the oldest engine they had that they restored and put with the caboose?
When George Roose retired, he still owned that locomotive and moved it to his estate. He eventually donated it to the Henry Ford Museum, and it is now owned and on display at the Port Huron, MI Museum.
Some extra things In 1998, the closed coaches and one of the former C&O cabeese were purchased from cedar point by the Hesston Steam Museum, the C&O caboose isn't currently used on trains, and one of the closed coaches is awaiting restoration
What's up with "The Ugly Broad" Dive Bar on Clark and the Santeria store Near St Roccos?
Has anyone heard Entertrainment in Ohio is closing?
That's a nice documentary, great to see the interviews. Theme park, Zoo and amusement park locomotives are a class in it's own, and although intensively rebuilt, many of the little Davenport industrial locomotive were saved this way. Not too dissimilar with locomotives used in such parks in Europe, where locomotives also are often old industrial and quarry locomotives mostly from the German companies Krauss or O&K.
Excellent shot. Like
I ride the whole CP&LE loop every time I visit the park. Thanks for making this video!
DULUTH MENTIONED
follow rt 821 south out of Caldwell and see another lost and forgotten railroad trestle
Interesting.

Sounds about right for Cleveland, it’s an armpit of a city.
This was such a great video. It brought back so many wonderful memories from my childhood and made me realize just how badly I need to go back to the Point.
good video
Great commentary! It’s a shame the Jennie K got sold and not restored to service
Great video! Thank you!
What an amazing documentary! Such great memories on the train!
27:36 we need a video about that river crossing suspended train car. I have never seen anything like that. Cable cars sure but never that. Don't even know what the right name of it is.
Do employees working the CP&LE Railroad pay into railroad retirement?
No, we work at an amusement park not a railroad.
I've never been happier watching a RUclips documentary. Honestly thank you
Nice to see a video on railroad that I have ridden. So is the next video going to be the CTA to Present Day RTA? The reason I am asking is because youtube is showing me a lot of old footage of the Cleveland rapid.
I absolutely loved this video, I’ve been many times because I live so close to Cedar Point and have always had a love for trains. You taught me even something I didn’t know, that Maud L.’s wheels were turned at the B&O shops in Willard, OH! I live nearby, and my grandfather worked there in the 50’s (though he was laid off before they would have done any work on Maud L.) Anyways, this was certainly an interesting fact to know! What a small world, thanks for sharing the amazing history of something so close to myself.

I had the pleasure of working the CP&LE railroad intermittently in the late 2000s, including a couple of off season years performing maintenance on the track and keeping the locomotives clean and polished. Track work was tough work, digging out rotted ties and replacing them with new ones, manually tamping stone with tamping rods till they were stable. Randy was our superintendent at the time and was a phenomenal man in charge of the engine house. Easily the most fun and satisfying attraction to operate at the park.
Excellent. Brought back memories.
Cedar Point had both the best rides and best railroad.
The D.B. Harrington eventually wound up in Port Huron, Michigan. And was cosmetically restored over the last few years. It's most recently on public display at an event venue in Port Huron, Mi.
I need to go back this theme park. I went there about 20 years and it was a blast. Definitely a highly recommend place to see when you’re in Ohio. And bang on video because they got cool steam trains too.
Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for the donation!
I sailed on the Charles M White for Cliffs in the 70's and it was the only boat to have beaten the Victory in unofficial races during the 50's. One of the Captain's I sailed with had been in command of both the Victory and the White and confirmed without cargo and in ballast the White had won and when both loaded the Victory had won
Im pretty sure that street car, the white one that was on display, is now in operation at the Pennsylvania Trolley museum. If not, one just like it. Definitely make a trip there!
Thank you. Very interesting and many things I never knew. Well done video too. Will watch more.
Hope my archive Playlist helped with this :)
It did! Thanks Mason!
@@RailroadStreet no problem!
dope
Also, you really should credit Randy Catri, who succeeded Mike Hetrick as railroad superintendent and spent 45 years working on the CP&LE.
Thanks for crediting the photos of mine you used in this video. it was also good to finally see video of Mr. Butterworth, whom I've emailed with in the past. Sad to see the state of Albert, which I spent quite a few hours on firing in the late 1970s. She deserves a better fate than sitting outdoors in Lake Erie winters.
No problem! Good to hear from you Paul! Hopefully one day Albert will be restored back to operation again.
@@RailroadStreet Thirty years ago I helped someone in Louisiana with an effort to get Albert to a proposed plantation museum there. That effort didn't pan out, but that is the kind of place it really belongs.
Great to see Ken on here, always enjoyed stopping and chatting with him at the museum.
Nice video, Thanks
