Today I went to Kent Ohio just to hit a bike trail. The Atlantic & Great Western station:


And next to it a single window coach 

I don't know if this was a real car or not, but Marvin Kent was a guy from the A&GW who decided to build the railroad shops in Franklin Mills. The town was renamed to Kent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Kent

And the bike trail down along the river. Unlike all the trails around here this one has photo boards set up all over showing what used to be here. Along the way I saw a cool RR bridge over the river and this is just one photo from the board.

The bridge looked old and as soon as I was wondering if the line was still used I heard a horn from this W&LE train:

And an old photo of the A&GW shops:


And part of the building today:


Not my video, but:

Later on the Erie built a big yard on the other side of town. It is just a big field now.
