Rebirth of the P&LE Gateway yard Youngstown & Southeastern 7225
Shot in March 2024, we see IBCX moving a long cut of cars in the former P&LE Gateway yard. The Youngstown and Southeastern has a huge contract for storage cars, I heard for a Shell cracker plant in PA. As seen here they have had to reinstall a bunch of tracks that have been gone for 30+ years. The P&LE built this yard in 1957, the hump fed 35 classification tracks. The yard was closed in 1993 when the P&LE was absorbed into CSX. The tower, a car repair barn and a few other structures remain. Later we see the crew over at Graham on the NS Youngstown line. Also another clip of a Y&S crew coming off the Struthers lead at Graham.
Anytime I go down to see this railroad and I have my kids with me we have to stop at Crouse Mills Hardware in North Lima. They have 2 old reefers filled with model trains!
