Ford Brook Park, Ohio Engine Plant 1954 Promo Film

As a kid, we grew up in shadows of "The Ford Plant" in the 1960s and early 1970s and passed by it whenever we visited our grandparents in Brook Park. The site was massive and seemed to go on forever. Today the foundry/casting plant is gone (closed in 2010 after Ford's switch to aluminum) with only one engine plant remaining. Lately, the owners of the Cleveland Browns football team have revealed plans to build a new stadium on the property and move the team from Cleveland.

The map I've included below highlights the brownfields in red and the remaining Engine Plant No.1 in blue.

Stop and Go

 Minor progress made with the new brake setup while I put together a shopping list of fittings and lines I'll need to plumb it all in. Check out our Youtube channel for the video.
