Eastern Railroad Discussion > PIR "Pirate" SW1500 on the former Hocking Valley.

The G&W's (I&O) former Pittsburgh Industrial Railroad SW1500 2342 was a regular at Lancaster,OH for several years, often working the Anchor Shuttle between Plant 1 and the distribution center. She left and spent some time on the CIND and has returned to Lancaster recently in a more spartan scheme. First photo is circa Sept 2003, backing her cars up the spur to the distribution center. The last two are April 27th of this year on the local assignment.  Wouldn't she look good in a fresh coat of G&W orange with black trim?
