Viewing Album:  Willoughby Area Welcome Center
 
By:Fred Stuckmann
Dates:3/27/2010 - 10/14/2010
Album Info:Situated between CSX and NS mainlines, this welcome center is housed in what is believed to have been a Freedom Train coach. My hosts Don and Pat Lewis agreed to stay after their normal 4:00 PM closing time. Don stated that they would get double and a half time of nothing for staying over to satisfy my curiosity. The mainlines are on either side of this location and produce about 80 trains a day. To my hosts and you, I say thank you.

Time to go.
Title:  Time to go.
Description:  I only had minutes to take it all in, but if you're in town on a Saturday or Sunday, stop by between 10:00 AM and 4:00PM. They are at 3872 Erie St. just north of the NS line, or just south of the CSX line, depending on how you come into town.
