Toledo Lake Erie & Western Railroad History

Disclaimer before I get into the description, I meant no ill intent when walking around these amazing pieces of Railroad History and these are not abandoned either. I am only here to document and share with you all. On a cold and icy day in January me decided to head to Grand Rapids, Ohio (Not Michigan) to explore some railroad history. I am joined by my daughter Grace, ‪@ExploringWithBonnie13‬ and ‪@NaomisAdventures‬ on this amazing day of exploring Railroad History. Description of the area below: The Toledo, Lake Erie & Western Railway and Museum (TLE&W) is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to preserving Northwest Ohio’s railroad heritage. Established in 1965 and incorporated in 1969, it operates on a 10-mile stretch of historic track between Waterville and Grand Rapids, Ohio, originally part of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad (aka Clover Leaf, later Nickel Plate Road and Norfolk & Western). The museum showcases vintage locomotives, railcars, and equipment, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s rail history. Its signature Bluebird Passenger Train, though currently not running due to track restoration, is a focal point of ongoing volunteer efforts. The TLE&W also features a scenic 901-foot bridge over the Maumee River, the largest owned by a tourist railroad east of the Mississippi. In 2014, the museum expanded by acquiring the Waterfront Electric Railway Museum in Grand Rapids, enhancing its historical displays and community engagement. The Toledo, Lake Erie & Western Railway and Museum is moving forward with our most important project: restoring the iconic Bluebird to service. This ambitious effort is made possible by the generosity of our members, the local community, and railroading enthusiasts like you. #railroadhistory #railroadphotography #scenicrailway https://tlew.org/
