Reminder for my fellow railfans: Big Boy's first of two runs through NW Ohio is this weekend! The world's largest steam locomotive still in operation will chug eastward on this leg, though the main stop to get an up-close view will be in Fostoria on Tue Jul 14th during the return trip west.

NOTE: Lorain's window has moved 2 hours earlier, now 11:15-11:30am Mon Jun 8.

The "Summer of Steam" is Almost Here! 🚂💨

​The countdown is officially on!
In just 10 days, Streamtrains LIVE kicks off our most ambitious project yet: the "Summer of Steam" series.

We are hitting the high iron across Northeastern Ohio to capture the raw power, the rhythmic exhaust, and the unmatched spectacle of historic steam railroading in 8K resolution.

​Whether you are a lifelong railfan or just looking for an unforgettable experience, we want to see you trackside with us!

​Where You Can Find Us:

​CVSR "Steam in the Valley" (June 6–7 & 13–14): We’ll be in the heart of the Cuyahoga Valley, capturing stunning passes of the legendary Nickel Plate #765.

​The Big Boy Runs: Mark your calendars! We are covering the transit action for the Eastbound run-through/maintenance stop in Lorain on June 8th, and the Westbound return through Rocky River on July 13th.

~PLUS~

​Cleveland Railroad Festival (June 27th):
We are proud to support the Midwest Railway Preservation Society and American Steam Railroad in conjunction with Cleveland History Days. Join us at the Historic B&O Roundhouse for a monumental day featuring the return of the legendary Reading 2100 (now American Freedom Train 250).

​Join the Action!

​We aren't just filming; we’re building a community of enthusiasts who appreciate the legacy of the rails.
