Aerial view of the Maumee River at the Waterville OH-64 Bridge. River is very high and I didn't see a single fisherman the whole time I was in Waterville. The river access I was at was completely empty. Music is Divider by Chris Zabriskie
This is the Ohio Electric Railroad Bridge, also called the Interurban Bridge at Rouche De Boeuf in Waterville, Ohio over the Maumee River. It was built in 1907 and only used for 30 years. Now it is an awesome landmark here in Waterville. Music is Divider by Chris Zabriskie
Huge chunks of ice passed through Grand Rapids,Ohio on 3/16/2014! This footage was taken by me from Providence park just across the river from Grand Rapids.I must say that this was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, you need to watch the entire video and turn up your speakers.
Created on September 11, 2010 using FlipShare. The TLE&W (Bluebird) was giving rides across the 900FT + bridge in Grand Rapids, Ohio until we got rained out! We called it a day and headed back to park the motorcar/ motorcar train in the Grand Rapids yard.
