Daniel L. Frizzi, Jr. Railroad Collection

Historical Photograph Collections of Bellaire, Ohio and Belmont County

Daniel L. Frizzi, Jr. Railroad Collection

The Daniel L. Frizzi, Jr. Railroad Collection consists of railroad photographs and digital images taken at various locations over a span of more than 30 years commencing in 1990 and continuing to the present. The photographs and digital images were taken by Daniel L. Frizzi, Jr., as a hobby. Most of the photographs were taken in and around Bellaire, Ohio and the surrounding areas where railroad tracks continued in operation during this period of time. In addition to the local railroad traffic of the Ohio Valley, however, many photographs depict scenes of mountain railroads in West Virginia, western Pennsylvania and Maryland, all of which were taken during this same period of time by the photographer. These mountain railroads include the Class I track operated by CSX between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland, as well as between Grafton, West Virginia and Cumberland, Maryland.

Many of the photographs identify the fallen flags of some of the nation’s earliest railroad companies, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; the Western Maryland Railroad; Seaboard Coast Lines; Louisville and Nashville Railroad; Chessie; Cheasapeake and Ohio Railroad; Conrail; Pennsylvania Railroad; Norfolk and Western Railway; Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway; and others. CSX, Conrail and Norfolk Southern are prominent throughout the collection even though the fallen flags of other railroads continued to be used as motive power during this period.

IDENTIFICATION OF LOCATIONS AND TRAINS

In order to identify the location of the photographs taken, reference to a particular railroad without a designation of location should be assumed to have been taken in Bellaire, Ohio. For example, a reference to “CSX” without more should be considered a Bellaire, Ohio photograph. A reference to “CSX Bridgeport” would identify the photograph to have been taken at that location.

The following abbreviations should be used to identify the railroads depicted:

B & O - Baltimore and Ohio
CEI - Cleveland Electric Illuminating
CHES - Chessie
CR - Conrail
CSX - CSX
NS - Norfolk Southern
LN - Louisville Nashville
SB - Seaboard
WLE - Wheeling & Lake Erie
WM - Western Maryland Railroad

Volumes and Sets

Each Volume of photographs is arranged numerically by Set Number and identified by dates.

The photographs which appear in all volumes capture railroad traffic that has in many places changed over the past 30 years, or have disappeared completely. The photographs and digital images have been donated by the photographer to the Bellaire Public Library as a resource for those interested in railroad history and photography.
