IIRC, Ex SP, last as NREX 2671 on sister road AVR in Pittsburgh. Repainted for visibility around Columbus on the Camp Chase. Look for 1502 & 1503 similarly repainted.

Here's 1502 ready to be shipped out and repainted April 11th in Columbus.

Here's 1503 already repainted orange and back on the Camp Chase 4/11.

There was a derailment on the Camp Chase a few weeks back. Some grain cars were being shoved into a ConAgra elevator/flour mill just east of Georgesville Road and the rail went out from under them.

Camp Chase (reporting marks CCRA) is a former Conrail track, and was formerly the ex-NYC/Big 4 main line from Columbus to Cincinnati. It runs as far as Lilly Chapel, in eastern Madison County.

Conrail combined all their Columbus-Cincinnati traffic on the former Pennsy to London, Ohio, where it then picked up the NYC again, the route alternates between the ex-NYC and ex-Pennsy tracks all the way to Cincinnati.
