Nickel Plate Road 765 - Steam In The Valley 2025 [4K]

On April 25 - 27, 2025, I would make my way up to the Cleveland, OH area to attend the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad's "Steam In The Valley" event for the first time. Nickel Plate Road #765 would be the star of the show for the weekend. I would ride along with ‪@chendersonrailproductions704‬, ‪@GTRFTrainCinematography‬, and ‪@LanesTrains‬ for most of the runs. So be sure to check out their respective videos from the event as well!

On Friday, we would wait in a literal monsoon for our first shot before heading to Peninsula, OH for the second and last shot of the night. Sadly, on Saturday morning, due to flooding from all the rain the previous night, the first two trips were cancelled for safety reasons. So, we ended up passing the time doing other train-related things. Thankfully, the third trip of the day was still on and we ended up chasing that one before breaking for dinner and heading back to the hotel. The next morning, we headed to Brecksville for our next series of shots. I can safely say, despite the weather-related hiccups and other happenings, we were successful in our endeavor to capture the scenes that we did. I would've stayed for the other two runs on Sunday, but I had a near eight-hour drive back home to Tennessee I had to make as well as work and an important doctor's appointment the following day. I do hope to return if the event happens in 2026, so we shall see what the future holds.

I hope y'all enjoy!
