Viewing Album:  CVSR Akron, Last Century.
 
By:Fred Stuckmann
Dates:1/1/1987 - 12/31/1999
Album Info:The CVSR has seen many changes over the years. These shots show a few of those changes and give you a glimpse back at the railroad in it's infancy. Personally, I never imagined it turning out as well as it did. Many people deserve credit for making it the fine operation it's come to be. Thank you.

Valley Line pulling into Akron.
Title:  Valley Line pulling into Akron.
Description:  Sorry about the pentagon. I had a filter on the lens and sometimes light would bounce around in there. Ex D&H unit, so it was not hard to assimilate, since the Valley Line was running those colors at that time.
