Eastern Railroad Discussion > Grand River SW1200 #1202Date: 08/28/15 19:57 Grand River SW1200 #1202 Author: Ohiorailfan Today Grand River SW1200 #1202 made its way to Columbus, Ohio on the OHCR turn. From Columbus, CSX will take it to Willard and finally to its new home east of Cleveland.
Here are a couple shots of it today in Pataskala, Ohio and Columbus, Ohio Date: 08/28/15 20:00 Re: Grand River SW1200 #1202 Author: Ohiorailfan Date: 08/28/15 20:18 Re: Grand River SW1200 #1202 Author: stlrailfan Nice looking unit , Any idea on the lineage??? Thanks Mark

Date: 08/29/15 07:32 Re: Grand River SW1200 #1202 Author: NS9743 Only problem, is that emblem says Linking Fairport Harbor, Fairport Harbor is opposite side of river from this short line, and Fairport is already linked to the nation by NS
Posted from iPhone Date: 08/29/15 08:18 Re: Grand River SW1200 #1202 Author: Rivannaco Yes, absolutely right! But there's an east and west side to the harbor, which is generally known as Fairport Harbor, and, GRRY services the west side. The herald doesn't say GRRY is the ONLY railroad linking Fairport Harbor to the Nation. Nonetheless, your comment is why there's still one thing the government doesn't do: Educate mules, 'cause no one likes a smart you-know-what.

They could connect it technically there's a bridge that goes to the East Side and West side but they need new track.
