This is an excellent video showing the B&O and Gateway Yard. Thanks!

The old Willard YMCA. I remember that place. Thankfully I only had to endure staying there for about 8 months before the new hotel opened.

[@M332]

Nice video takes me back to when I was a boy, I grew up in Wooster and my father would take me up to Sterling and or Warwick to watch trains, oh how things have changed.

[@Nethanel773]

[@larrydockery7201]

[@LeeDfined]

3:01...my hometown of Kent Ohio.
I live on the other side of the Cuyahoga River at end of street. Sometimes our houses shook from the trains.

[@LeeDfined]

I grew up In Kent Ohio across the Cuyohoga River, where there used to be a control point of B&O CPLs. In the winter I would watch the snow light up to know a train had entered into the block.

[@kents.2866]

My favorite horn out of all the diesel engines and I'm a steam guy. But hearing this one makes me think of when I was a kid watching trains. If I was going to model the diesel era it would be the late 80s into the early 90s.
